Geoff Moore & The Distance New Americans
There are seven of red and there are six of white
It's the blood and truth of the stars and stripes
Through a perilous night, with our banner waved
In the land of the free, in the home of the brave
Late twentieth century with 'Generation X'
Never has there been a group more patrioic-less
As the bells of freedom ring in the name of liberty
We run down each other chasing the American dream
Who will help to lead the way back to what made our land so great?
Is there anyone who will say, "This is God's country?"
Calling the new Americans, ready to make a stand
Ready to take back the land
Calling the new Americans, rich and poor, young and old
Have been bought and can't be sold
It's from coast to coast like a growing storm
There's an army of the young living above the norm
Four words that you will find on a dollar bill
They are more than an empty slogan but the passion by which we live
So come join us in the fight and run to right
Calling the new Americans, ready to make a stand
Ready to take back the land
Calling the new Americans , rich and poor, young and old
Have been bought and can't be sold
Calling the new Americans, red, yellow, black and white
Who'll never ever give up the fight
Calling the new Americans
We all know the hour's late, this ain't no time to hesitate
My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty
Of thee, I sing
Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride
Of thee, I sing
It's time we hit our knees and cry out humbly
Jesus, heal us
We are the new Americans, ready to take a stand
Ready to take back the land
We are the new Americans, rich and poor, young and old
Have been bought and can't be sold
We are the new Americans, red, yellow, black and white
Who'll never ever give up the fight
We are the new Americans who vote and buy it, make the choice
And speak for those without a voice
We are the new Americans
Who vote and buy it, make the choice
And speak for those without a voice
Calling the new Americans, are you out there?
