America Battered and Beautiful written in response to the events that occurred in the United States on January 6th 2021

lyrics

The country I call my home
Is going through some growing pains
Somethings were left undone

And we’re living through an uncivil war
Where some wave the flag but mock the law
And we’re standing on shaky ground

Battered and Beautiful
Its red, white and blue
Through all the pain there’s Still love in you
Battered and beautiful
Although your sins are true
America, the old red, white and blue

So we built a house upon the hill
And the hopes and dreams are happening still
And we're moving towards its perfection

There’s a shadow on the nations light
And its coming to where we’ll turn and fight
Still that banner is waving me home

Battered and Beautiful
Our red, white and blue
Through all the pain there’s still love in you
Battered and Beautiful
Although your sins are true
America, I’m counting on you

Solo

The country I call my home
Is going through some growing pains
Cause somethings were left undone

Battered and Beautiful
I Love you through and through
America, the lord is smiling on you
Battered and Beautiful
In my heart I know its true
America, America
You’re still red white and blue
