lyrics

Hold you back from a long way down
You can tell me you’re feeling ‘round
‘fore the things you lost ‘fore the things you found
When you were younger than you’re feeling now
When you were younger than you’re feeling now

We can all get lost in time
We can read the papers fine
But you’ll lose your heart and you’ll waste your mind
If the information doesn’t make you kind
We want the information to make us kind

But if you put up a wall to protect your side
And you stuff your faces with mean ‘ol lies
This is how you will kill and die
America

Give us all an open road
Give us all a hand to hold
It’s time to understand how to make things whole
In America

What holds you back from a long way down
What gets you grown up from the ground
Doing something more than just sitting round
You won’t get younger than you’re feeling now/can we be free?
You won’t get younger than you’re feeling now/can we be free?

So don’t get lost too lost in time
When you read the papers, find
How not to lose your heart or to waste your mind
Cause we want the information to make us kind
We want the information to make us kind

But if you put up a wall to protect your side
And you stuff your faces with mean ‘ol lies
This is how you will kill and die
In America

Won’t you give us a hand a hand to hold
So you can understand how this world rolls
Give us all an open road
America
