Sample clip (Coming Soon)
We thought it was enough……… to feel proud
To pledge our allegiance out loud
We thought it was enough…… to sing along
To some patriotic song.
We wave our flag across the sky
Yet we can’t look our neighbor in the eye
And we don’t even wonder why
We love this land of opportunity
As long as there s something in it…..for you and me
We thought it was enough
Say a Prayer…. Bring A mer…ica back home.
With our flag…. higher than it’s ever flown
Back to a time we used to pray
For our daily bread and the American way USA
It gave us strength ….. It gave us power
It gave us light through the darkest hour
Lets take America back in our hands
Before the last cowboy stands
We thought it was enough….. to watch the news
That breeds our red and white blues
We thought it was enough…. to take our share
To play the game…but not play fair
We took in your tired and your poor
What they made in America … moved off shore
We opened windows and closed our doors…….
The weary who built this USA
Count pennies… for pills they can’t pay
We thought it was enough
CHORUS
Give us this day… and return us to grace
Bring back the values
That we have misplaced
One nation of Men
One Kingdom divine
Together again
One prayer at a time
CHORUS
Songwriting Inspiration:
My 40 aunts and uncles loved to go to the casino. Once a month, I would rent a bus and take them to Atlantic City or to the Mohegan Sun Thank you Auntie Gloria for your inspiration to my lyric.
