I Took A Walk

I took a walk through the fields of America
I'll tell you what I saw
In the middle of the garbage and erotica
I saw a man in pain, crying to be free
Children in the rain, yelling out their glee
Well singers on the plain, fused in harmony

Hey, oh America, they wanna love you
Please be true to thee
Oh America, they wanna love you
Please be true to thee

People I have seen in the streets and communities
Running in a mortal fear of the violence and its companies
I saw a man in hand, flying to the moon
Well a rich man of the lands, dying all too soon
I say, people in the bands, you really oughta learn this tune

Hey, oh America, they wanna love you
Please be true to thee
Oh America, they wanna love you
Please be true to thee

I took a walk through the fields of America
I'll tell you what I saw
I saw a murder in a place called Attica
I saw a man called power
Who said "You've got to fit my vision"
I saw a man called law
Said "If you don't, I'm gonna put you in the prison"
I saw a man called peace
Who was shaking with the laughter of derision

Hey, oh America, they wanna love you
Please be true to thee
Oh America, they're wanna love you
Please be true to thee
Oh America, they're wanna love you
Please be true to thee

I took a walk through the fields of America
I'll tell you what I saw
I saw the blizzards and the tropica
I saw mountain streams
Running free and clear, Lord
Creatures of my dreams
So beautiful, I shed my tears
You great and wondrous land
I wonder why you cannot hear me now

Hey, oh America, they wanna love you
Please be true to thee
Oh America, they wanna love you
Please be true to thee
Oh America, they wanna love you
Please be true to thee
Oh America

America, America, America, America, America
America, America, America, America, America
America, America, America, America, America
