| [00:12.34] | My girl America is just a youth in this world |
| [00:14.69] | Her smile is more precious than the sparkle of pearls |
| [00:17.46] | And though her age reads she's just a young girl |
| [00:20.13] | The age behind her eyes show the pain that she's swirled |
| [00:22.78] | Through the hand that's been dealt though it's quiet as kept |
| [00:25.49] | The weight that she felt last night when she slept |
| [00:27.84] | And as she crept into the dreams of the things of her past |
| [00:30.81] | Seems to have grown so fast, way beyond her own class |
| [00:33.46] | Though they're right there with her, her brothers and her sisters |
| [00:36.12] | A natural born leader even when her peers dis her |
| [00:38.81] | My girl, she's at a crossroads, people praying for her |
| [00:41.34] | Some are preying on her magazine ads, sex, drama |
| [00:43.92] | Smoking marijuana, longer for a father to call her, 'daughter' |
| [00:46.82] | She's part of a generation longing for reconciliation |
| [00:49.54] | And this future that they're facing and this poison that they're tasting |
| [00:52.65] | My girl, I know this love you're chasing |
| [03:14.55][02:53.26][00:55.94] | My girl America's crying when she's lying on her bed at night |
| [03:19.81][02:58.50][01:01.33] | I can see that she's screaming when she's dreaming for her freedom |
| [03:25.11][03:03.95][02:10.75][01:06.55] | My girl America's dying while she's trying just to stop this fight |
| [03:30.38][03:09.22][02:15.77][01:11.78] | Don't stop believing, my girl America |
| [01:16.45] | Boys with hungry eyes have been beating her door |
| [01:18.61] | Telling her that's what she's for, trying to rob at her core |
| [01:21.40] | Then leave calling her a whore, but still she knows there's more |
| [01:24.12] | I know she knows there's more because there is a voice she can't ignore |
| [01:26.64] | 'Cause it was founded in the foundations, from the day of her creation |
| [01:30.03] | In God we trust engraved on the treasures of her nation |
| [01:32.65] | And the void that the boys can't fill |
| [01:34.68] | With the tipping of the bottle or the popping of the pill |
| [01:37.29] | But still most of her friends don't care as they glare |
| [01:40.07] | Ready to drown down the funnel as they frown down the tunnel |
| [01:42.60] | They stumble and they tumble breaking down into rubble |
| [01:45.35] | My girl America, stop can't you see |
| [01:47.65] | It's not the circumstances that determine who you're gonna be |
| [01:50.68] | 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 |
| [01:56.69] | And so I say, your deliverance is coming |
| [02:21.06] | [chorus]Faith like a child from your first birth |
| [02:23.63] | You left it in the dirt on your worst hurt |
| [02:26.35] | And I see each tear and every scar |
| [02:28.84] | The hands that have held you where you are |
| [02:31.50] | And I can see we've strayed so far |
| [02:34.15] | A king born under that morning star |
| [02:36.81] | As a crown of thorns was placed to earase |
| [02:39.55] | Each tear that's touched your face |
| [02:41.91] | And his palms and sides were pierced with spears |
| [02:44.78] | He hung in love just to draw you near |
| [02:47.67] | My girl, out of this whole world |
| [02:50.33] | Can't you see this is where we started? |
