Geoff Moore & the Distance - New Americans Lyrics

There are seven of red and there are six of white

It's the blood and truth of the stars and stripes

Through a perilous night, with our banner waved

In the land of the free, in the home of the brave



Late twentieth century with 'Generation X'

Never has there been a group more patrioic-less

As the bells of freedom ring in the name of liberty

We run down each other chasing the American dream

Who will help to lead the way back to what made our land so great?

Is there anyone who will say, "This is God's country?"



Calling the new Americans, ready to make a stand

Ready to take back the land

Calling the new Americans, rich and poor, young and old

Have been bought and can't be sold



It's from coast to coast like a growing storm

There's an army of the young living above the norm

Four words that you will find on a dollar bill

They are more than an empty slogan but the passion by which we live

So come join us in the fight and run to right



Calling the new Americans, ready to make a stand

Ready to take back the land

Calling the new Americans , rich and poor, young and old

Have been bought and can't be sold



Calling the new Americans, red, yellow, black and white

Who'll never ever give up the fight

Calling the new Americans

We all know the hour's late, this ain't no time to hesitate



My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty

Of thee, I sing

Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride

Of thee, I sing

It's time we hit our knees and cry out humbly

Jesus, heal us



We are the new Americans, ready to take a stand

Ready to take back the land

We are the new Americans, rich and poor, young and old

Have been bought and can't be sold



We are the new Americans, red, yellow, black and white

Who'll never ever give up the fight

We are the new Americans who vote and buy it, make the choice

And speak for those without a voice



We are the new Americans

Who vote and buy it, make the choice

And speak for those without a voice

Calling the new Americans, are you out there?
