A Country Full Of Misery
It is lost.
 The right has converged with the darkness
 The wrong has submerged in the right
 What once was wrong
 Is considered pure
 What thrives at night
 Has invaded the light
 
 My country tis’ of thee
 Sweet land of liberty
 I once was blind but now I see
 A country full of misery
 If what is wrong
  is considered right
 If what is pure
  is no longer bright
 
 A future full of war and fighting?
 A world we are left,
 To mend and try lighting.
 The match that was burned
 The torch that is dying
 
 My country tis’ of thee
 Sweet land of liberty
 I once was blind but now I see
 A country full of misery
 If what is wrong 
 
 
 
 
 
 is considered right
 If what is pure
  is no longer bright.
 
 Nervous we are to inherit this world
 A world that is torn
 Broken and worn
 By the choices they have made
 
 The ones before us have not yet gone
 Instead of comforting our fading song
 They poison our minds with a tampered one
 A deathly one
 A history full of twisted rights
 Truths that would help us as we try
 To discern those truths from a rising lie
 
 My country tis’ of thee
 Sweet land of liberty
 I once was blind but now I see
 A country full of misery
 If what is wrong
  is considered right
 If what is pure
  is no longer bright.
