Is America in Decline? For generations, the United States stood as a beacon of democracy, economic power, and opportunity. But today, cracks are showing. From political turmoil to economic struggles, the signs of a falling America are everywhere. And now we push back and take back America.
Say It Ain’t So, America
Verse 1
There was a time you stood so tall,
A beacon bright, a hope for all,
Wrote your name across the sky,
With dreams too big to ever die.
But now the cracks are in the stone,
The torch is flickering alone,
And I can’t help but turn and say,
Oh, tell me it ain't so today.
Chorus
Say it ain't so, America, don’t turn away,
Tell me you still stand for truth today,
Did the power and greed steal your soul away?
Oh, say it ain't so, My America.
Verse 2
We built the future on a fight,
For every voice, for every right,
We walked the march, we stormed the gate,
For something more than fear and hate.
But now the songs have all gone quiet,
The streets are burning in the night,
And I can’t help but turn and pray,
Oh, tell me it ain't so today.
Bridge (Building intensity, almost pleading)
Statues crumble, flags are torn,
Echoes whisper of battles sworn,
Where is the promise, where is the grace?
Or did we sell it, lost in the race?
The hands of time don’t turn back slow,
But heroes rise when people know,
That justice ain't for just the few,
Oh, America, where are you?
Chorus (Repeat, More Powerful)
Say it ain't so, America, don’t turn away,
Tell me you still stand for truth today,
Did the power and greed steal your soul away?
Oh, say it ain't so, My America.
Verse 3 (Soft, almost resigned, but still hopeful)
I see a child with wide-eyed dreams,
Still believes in what we used to be,
Maybe hope’s not gone for good,
Maybe we’d fix it, if we could.
But first we face the man inside,
See the truth we try to hide,
A hero's fall ain't set in stone,
We rise again or stand alone.
Outro (Haunting, Fading, Emotional)
Say it ain't so... say it ain't so...
Oh, America, where did you go?
The world is watching, the stars still shine,
Can you stand up one last time?
