Come On America

Come on America,
We’re better than this, so much better,
Our foundation was, is and always will be
Hope,
So often, in the darkest days of our world,
We have helped others believe,
We have been a beacon.

Come on America,
Learn from our mistakes, listen,
We ignored women, we ignored our people of color,
We ignored history, we ignored our ideals,
Life is short, hate is long,
We are better than this.

Come on America,
We don’t need to be perfect, not great again,
We just need to be good,
Righteous need not be God-fearing, or God-smearing, or loud,
Just good, really good.

Come on America,
Debate is good, deflate is not,
We don’t need to tell the world we’re the best,
We just need to be better tomorrow than yesterday.

Come on America,
Divided we have fallen, together we’ll rise,
Come on America,
We got this.
