〈Verse 1〉
I once drank coffee surrounded by strangers
Now I won’t even go into the store
Now I can’t even look out my window
Without wonderin’ which side the aisle you’re for
〈Chorus〉
Daddy what happened to America?
Was it a myth all along?
Grew up believing in our better angels—
All I have left is this song
〈Verse 2〉
Acres are burning, people are hurting
I fight off the crazy and laugh through the pain
Mom and dad taught me that things would get better
They never knew it could get this insane
〈Chorus〉
Daddy what happened to America?
Was it a myth all along?
Grew up believing in our better angels—
All I have left is this song
〈Verse 3〉
I’ve been a realist since I can remember
But it’s getting tougher and tougher each day
Truth is the truth’s gettin’ harder to come by
Truth is the news has me eager to pray
〈Chorus〉
Daddy what happened to America?
Was it a myth all along?
Grew up believing in our better angels—
All I have left is this song
〈Verse 4〉
I pray for the souls of American Christians
If you dance with the devil, don’t cry when it burns
I pray that my judgment won’t hurt anybody
I pray that we never forget how to learn
I once believed in the kindness of strangers
I pray my believing will one day return
You might also like〈Chorus〉
Daddy what happened to America?
Was it a myth all along?
Grew up believing in our better angels—
All I have left is this song
Grew up believing in our better angels—
All I have left is this song
