lyrics

I may not believe in God
but I'll say a little prayer for America

governors are lining up to stop the refugees
they forget their grandparents who came to this country
immigrants built this land and they will keep it strong
how quickly we forget this any time something goes wrong

I may not believe in God
but I'll say a little prayer for America

senators protest, they have a sit-in on the floor
but they won;t do their job and pass a simple righteous law
that can talk all night and say nothing or sound grand
but none of it amounts to more than castles made of sand

I may not believe in God
but I'll say a little prayer for America

WE WILL FIGHT AND WE WILL SING
THOUGH NO ONE HEARS AND WE WON'T WIN
WE WILL LIVE WITH LOVE UNTIL IT DROWNS OUT ALL OUR FEARS
THOUGH I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WE CAN POSSIBLY SURVIVE
TOGETHER WE CAN TRY

I may not believe in God
but I'll say a little prayer for America
