I hold you dear, america I wont get by, give me some reasons baby You're holdin back, no straight facin Im callin you, come out of the closet I want to see your pretty face Miss liberty oh my country tis of thee I wanna love your burnin life But im out here fightin a good fight of rights Stop telling me "obey baby, You mix too much, a hard heart would help you so much" I wont get by, not day or night Ive been losing you since the first day that i grew up You burned with me and the stars and moon But now we float around past you
