| [00:12.10] | My girl America is just a youth in this world |
| [00:14.72] | Her smile is more precious than the sparkle of pearls |
| [00:17.22] | And though her age reads she's just a young girl |
| [00:19.85] | The age behind her eyes show the pain that she's swirled |
| [00:22.60] | Through the hand that's been dealt though it's quiet as kept |
| [00:25.28] | The weight that she felt last night when she slept |
| [00:27.85] | And as she crept into the dreams of the things of her past |
| [00:30.66] | Seems to have grown so fast, way beyond her own class |
| [00:33.07] | Though they're right there with her, her brothers and her sisters |
| [00:35.88] | A natural born leader even when her peers dis her |
| [00:38.57] | My girl, she's at a crossroads, people praying for her |
| [00:41.25] | Some are preying on her magazine ads, sex, drama |
| [00:43.69] | Smoking marijuana, longer for a father her, to 'daughter'call |
| [00:46.73] | She's part of a generation longing for reconciliation |
| [00:48.79] | |
| [00:49.42] | And this future that they're facing and this poison that they're tasting |
| [00:52.79] | |
| [00:55.66] | My girl America's crying when she's lying on her bed at night |
| [01:00.73] | I can see that she's screaming when she's dreaming for her freedom |
| [01:05.73] | My girl America's dying while she's trying just to stop this fight |
| [01:11.23] | |
| [01:13.87] | Boys with hungry eyes have been beating her door |
| [01:18.59] | Telling her that's what she's for, trying to rob at her core |
| [01:21.11] | Then leave calling her a whore, but still she knows there's more |
| [01:23.68] | I know she knows there's more because there is a voice she can't ignore |
| [01:26.62] | 'Cause it was founded in the foundations, from the day of her creation |
| [01:29.61] | In God we trust engraved on the treasures of her nation |
| [01:32.49] | And the void that the boys can't fill |
| [01:34.37] | With the tipping of the bottle or the popping of the pill |
| [01:37.24] | But still most of her friends don't care as they glare |
| [01:39.80] | Ready to drown down the funnel as they frown down the tunnel |
| [01:42.36] | They stumble and they tumble breaking down into rubble |
| [01:44.99] | My girl America, stop can't you see |
| [01:47.42] | It's not the circumstances that determine who you're gonna be |
| [01:51.30] | But how you deal with these problems and pains that come your way |
| [01:53.93] | It's for you that I pray with hope for a brighter day |
| [01:56.49] | I say, And so your deliverance is coming |
| [01:58.85] | |
| [02:09.87] | My girl America's dying while she's trying just to stop this fight |
| [02:15.69] | |
| [02:21.36] | Faith like a child from your first birth |
| [02:23.50] | You left it in the dirt on your worst hurt |
| [02:25.87] | And I see each tear and every scar |
| [02:28.31] | |
| [02:28.82] | The hands that have held you where you are |
| [02:31.38] | And I can see we've strayed so far |
| [02:34.19] | A king born under that morning star |
| [02:36.62] | As a crown of thorns was placed to earase |
| [02:39.31] | Each tear that's touched your face |
| [02:41.63] | And his palms and sides were pierced with spears |
| [02:44.50] | He hung in love just to draw you near |
| [02:47.25] | My girl, out of this whole world |
| [02:49.69] | |
| [02:50.32] | Can't you see this is where we started? |
| [02:52.94] | My girl America's crying when she's lying on her bed at night |
| [02:58.00] | I can see that she's screaming when she's dreaming for her freedom |
| [03:03.07] | My girl America's dying while she's trying just to stop this fight |
| [03:08.95] | My girl America's crying when she's lying on her bed at night |
