Driving Across America
The gentle winds of change, I hear the sound It stirs the quiet desert sand I ride the rails of joy and sorrow down Into the canyons of this Land
Thru my windshield I see Fear and Faith Rich and Poor from town to town One owns a Bible and one owns a safe But neither walk on common ground
Tonight I'm driving across America Mister, can I talk to you? Tonight I'm driving across America Oh, say, can't you see what I've been through?
I see a Black Man with his hands held high I see a fatherless son I see a policeman who wonders why He keeps his tears locked in his gun
And I see a White Man with his eyes blood red 'cause he's been told what he should feel And I see too many women cut to shreds And taking half their lives to heal
Tonight I'm driving across America Mister, can I talk to you? Tonight I'm driving across America Oh, say, can you see what I see, too?
We rise and fall from Sea to Shining Sea Balancing Freedom and Change Waiting for a Purple Mountain Majesty To be our Saviour when it rains
Tonight I'm driving across America Mister, can I talk to you? Tonight I'm driving across America Oh, say, can you see what I see through?
