In a town where everyone knows my name Where the old oak stands just ain't the same
Got a highway sign that used to point the way Now it reads confusion night and day
They say the promises were pretty and grand Were dreams of unity across this land
Folks are fighting brother against brother Between the red hats and wands of another color
Where did we go astray? Can't we find a common way
America's heart and soul is breaking One side's seeing through, the other's forsaken
Where did we go astray? Can't we find a common way
America's heart and soul is breaking One side's seeing through, the other's forsaken
They say the right is wrong and the left is fine But we're scrapping over whispers and decline
Every little town got itself a brave divide Dreams of freedom seem so hard to find
The stars on our flag, they flicker and wane With every slur and tweet and partisan disdain
Factories close while tempers just ignite We need more plow shares, less of these fights
Oh, where did we go astray? Can't we find a common way
America's heart and soul is breaking One side's seeing through, the other's forsaken
Oh, where did we go astray? Can't we find a common way
America's heart and soul is breaking One side's seeing through, the other's forsaken
