Our Country...

(Can be sung to the tune of"My Country, 'Tis of Thee")

 

This country once was grand.

It's hard to understand

What has gone wrong.

Without change, rest assured,

Rights that were once secured

Will all become obscured.

Hear this sad song!

 

Our country nationwide

Was once more unified;

Now it is split.

Our leader--not so smart--

Who lacks a caring heart

Is tearing us apart,

Yes, bit by bit.

 

When presidents defy

Rule of law, tell me why

People don't act.

Obstructing justice should

Prove they're up to no good.

Let this be understood:

They must be sacked.

 

When leaders lie we must

Find others whom we trust

To tell the truth.

Climate change ought to be

A huge priority,

If not for you and me,

Then for our youth.

 

If people are too dense

And have no commonsense

Can we survive?

May eyes be opened so

More people here can know

What we must do to grow.

Let wisdom thrive!
