[00:05.48]Mat Kearney - Girl America
[00:12.34]My girl America is just a youth in this world
[00:14.69]Her smile is more precious than the sparkle of pearls
[00:17.46]And though her age reads she's just a young girl
[00:20.13]The age behind her eyes show the pain that she's swirled
[00:22.78]Through the hand that's been dealt though it's quiet as kept
[00:25.49]The weight that she felt last night when she slept
[00:27.84]And as she crept into the dreams of the things of her past
[00:30.81]Seems to have grown so fast, way beyond her own class
[00:33.46]Though they're right there with her, her brothers and her sisters
[00:36.12]A natural born leader even when her peers dis her
[00:38.81]My girl, she's at a crossroads, people praying for her
[00:41.34]Some are preying on her magazine ads, sex, drama
[00:43.92]Smoking marijuana, longer for a father to call her, 'daughter'
[00:46.82]She's part of a generation longing for reconciliation
[00:49.54]And this future that they're facing and this poison that they're tasting
[00:52.65]My girl, I know this love you're chasing
[chorus]
[03:14.55][02:53.26][00:55.94]My girl America's crying when she's lying on her bed at night
[03:19.81][02:58.50][01:01.33]I can see that she's screaming when she's dreaming for her freedom
[03:25.11][03:03.95][02:10.75][01:06.55]My girl America's dying while she's trying just to stop this fight
[03:30.38][03:09.22][02:15.77][01:11.78]Don't stop believing, my girl America
[01:16.45]Boys with hungry eyes have been beating her door
[01:18.61]Telling her that's what she's for, trying to rob at her core
[01:21.40]Then leave calling her a whore, but still she knows there's more
[01:24.12]I know she knows there's more because there is a voice she can't ignore
[01:26.64]'Cause it was founded in the foundations, from the day of her creation
[01:30.03]In God we trust engraved on the treasures of her nation
[01:32.65]And the void that the boys can't fill
[01:34.68]With the tipping of the bottle or the popping of the pill
[01:37.29]But still most of her friends don't care as they glare
[01:40.07]Ready to drown down the funnel as they frown down the tunnel
[01:42.60]They stumble and they tumble breaking down into rubble
[01:45.35]My girl America, stop can't you see
[01:47.65]It's not the circumstances that determine who you're gonna be
[01:50.68]But how you deal with these problems and pains that come your way
[01:53.93]It's for you that I pray with hope for a brighter day
[01:56.69]And so I say, your deliverance is coming
end
[chorus]
[02:21.06]Faith like a child from your first birth
[02:23.63]You left it in the dirt on your worst hurt
[02:26.35]And I see each tear and every scar
[02:28.84]The hands that have held you where you are
[02:31.50]And I can see we've strayed so far
[02:34.15]A king born under that morning star
[02:36.81]As a crown of thorns was placed to earase
[02:39.55]Each tear that's touched your face
[02:41.91]And his palms and sides were pierced with spears
[02:44.78]He hung in love just to draw you near
[02:47.67]My girl, out of this whole world
[02:50.33]Can't you see this is where we started?
