Текст (слова) песни: Jackson Browne - For America

As if I really didn`t understand
That I was just another part of their plan
I went off looking for the promise
Believing in the Motherland
And from the comfort of a dreamer`s bed
And the safety of my own head
I went on speaking of the future
While other people fought and bled
The kid I was when I first left home
Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own
But the freedom that he found wasn`t quite as sweet
When the truth was known
I have prayed for America
I was made for America
It`s in my blood and in my bones
By the dawn`s early light
By all I know is right
We`re going to reap what we have sown

As if freedom was a question of might
As if loyalty was black and white
You hear people say it all the time-
"My country wrong or right"
I want to know what that`s got to do
With what it takes to find out what`s true
With everyone from the President on down
Trying to keep it from you

The thing I wonder about the Dads and Moms
Who send their sons to the Vietnams
Will they really think their way of life
Has been protected as the next war comes?
I have prayed for America
I was made for America
Her shining dream plays in my mind
By the rockets red glare
A generation`s blank stare
We better wake her up this time

The kid I was when I first left home
Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own
But the freedom that he found wasn`t quite as sweet
When the truth was known
I have prayed for America
I was made for America
I can`t let go till she comes around
Until the land of the free
Is awake and can see
And until her conscience has been found
