I Want a Country

from One Year in the Lesser Middle by Tom Alter

/

lyrics

I want a country
I want a place that reflects the promises and ideal
Where common cause is real
I want a country.

I want to be united
But we are so divided
On lines that never change
Weren't we to be a beacon?
That's what we've been saying
Was it all a lie?
What is all a fake?

I want a country
Not a nation that's come unraveled to blue and red
Where common welfare lives
I want a country.

Weren't we to be united?
Were we once inspired to be like family?
Weren't we to be a beacon?
That's what we've been saying
Was it all a lie?
Is it just a fake?

I want a country.
