My girl America is just a youth in this world
Her smile is more precious than the sparkle of pearls
And though her age reads she's just a young girl
The age behind her eyes show the pain that she's swirled
Through the hand that's been dealt though it's quiet as kept
The weight was all felt last night when she slept
And as she crept into the dreams of the things of her past
Seems to have grown so fast, way beyond her own class
Though they're right there with her, her brothers and her sisters
A natural born leader even when her peers diss her
My girl. she's at a crossroads, people praying for her
Some are preying on her magazine ads, sex, drama
Smoking marijuana, longing for a father to call her "daughter"
She's part of a generation longing for reconciliation
And this future that they're facing and this poison that they're tasting
My girl, I know this love that you're chasing
CHORUS:
My girl America's crying when she's lying on her bed at night
I can see that she's screaming when she's dreaming for her freedom
My girl America's dying while she's trying just to stop this fight
Don't stop believing, my girl America
Boys with hungry eyes have been beating her door
Telling her that's what she's for, trying to rob her core
Then leave calling her a whore, but still she knows there's more
I know she knows there's more because there's a voice she can't ignore
'Cause it was founded in the foundations, from the day of her creation
In God we trust engraved on the treasures of her nation
And the void that the boys can't fill
With the tipping of the bottle and the popping of the pill
But still most of her friends don't care as they glare
Ready to drown down the funnel as they frown down the tunnel
As they stumble and they tumble breaking down into rubble
My girl America, stop can't you see
It's not the curcumstances that determine who you're gonna be
But how you deal with these problems and pains that come your way
It's for you that I pray with hope for a brighter day
So I say, your deliverance is coming
CHORUS
Faith like a child from your first birth
You left it in the dirt on your worst hurt
And I see each tear and every scar
The hands that hace held you where you are
And I can see we've strayed so far
A king born under that morning star
As a crown of thorns was placed to erase
Each tear that's touched your face
And his palms and sides were pierced with spears
He hung in love just to draw you near
My girl, out of this world
Can't you see this is where we started
CHORUS x2
And his palms and sides were pierced with spears
He hung in love just to draw you near
My girl, out of this world
Can't you see this is where we started
Where we started
Where we started
My girl America
its so sad these days there are so many people in this world just like this that dont know about the love God has for us that he is there to take us in anyone and will love us regardless of what we do to him.its so amazing that he would love us so much to do that for me you anyone and everyone in this world.and whats even sadder is then people who know about his love that he has and know what he did for us and dont live for it and dont except it or they know the truth and they know there doing wrong but they keep doing it for i dunno exceptance i guess.but i mean seriously when u think about all he has done for us he sent his son who gave his life for us and then he came and saved us from all the sin on the earth and raised us up how can u not want to live for him fully and do everything u can to honor him the one who created you and saved u from eternal suffering in hell....................................just something to think about next time u want to go out and do soemthing that u know u shouldnt be doing but u do anyways cuz whatever ur friends do it or u think o it wont hurt or whatever just remebner he died and gave his life for u and u should want to live and honor him in all u do
when i think about the Lord
how He saved, how He raised me
how He filled me with the Holy Ghost
how He healed me to the uttermost
when i think about the Lord
how he picked me up
turned me around
how He set my feet
on solid ground
it makes me want to shout
hallelujah! thank you, Jesus!
Lord, you're worthy
of all the glory, and all the honor
and all the praise!
Hallelujah! thank you, Jesus!
Lord, you're worthy
of all the glory, and all the honor
and all the praise!
seriously i mean we all sing and know this song how many people actualy sing it understan and know what it means here i mean when u read these lyrics and think about it it's like omg he died for me and then saved me and then raised me up as his own in his care to love me and its just so amazing to think about its just like if u were out in this world without a family or parents or anything and even tho u dont deserve it soeone came and took u in and treated u right and even when u dissobeyed them and were wrong to them they still loved u and kepp u thets what he did for us he love us and allways will but in return we need to see what he gave us and cherrish it and honor it and him wiht everything we do
