Krista Branch: 'I Am America'

I guess Glenn Beck played her song on the radio today. Beautiful song, tight lyrics, great tune!


UPDATE: Lyrics transcribed

I AM AMERICA
Krista Branch

Pay no attention to the people in the street
Crying out for accountability
Make a joke of what we believe
Say we don't matter 'cause you disagree

Pretend you're kings, sit on your throne
Lock down your nose at the peasants below
I've got some news: we're taking names --
We're waiting now for the judgement day

I am America
One voice, united we stand
I am America
One hope, to heal our land
There is still work that must be done
I will not rest until we've won
I am America.

You preach your tolerance but lecture me
Is there no end to your own hypocrisy?
Your god is power, you have no shame
Your only interest is political gain

You hide your eyes and refuse to listen
You play your games and abuse the system
You stuff your pockets while Rome is burning --
I've got a feeling that the tide is turning

I am America
One voice, united we stand
I am America
One hope, to heal our land
I will not give up on this fight
I will not fade into the night
I am America.

You stuff your pockets while Rome is burning --
I've got a feeling that the tide is turning

I am America
One voice, united we stand
I am America
One hope, to heal our land

I am America
One voice, united we stand
I am America
One hope, to heal our land
I will not give up on this fight
I will not fade into the night
I am America.
