Blessed are the bullies

For one day they will have to stand up

To themselves

Blessed are the liars

For the truth can be awkward.



It's not a place

This country is to me a sound

Of drum and bass

You close your eyes to look around.



Look around

Look around

Look around



It's a sound

Look around



Look around

It's a sound



It's not a place

This country is to me a thought

That offers grace

For every welcome that is sought



You are rock and roll

You and I are rock and roll

You are rock and roll

Came here looking for American Soul



It's not a place

This is a dream the whole world owns

The pilgrim's face

It had your heart to call her home



You are rock and roll

You and I are rock and roll

You are rock and roll

Came here looking for American Soul



American

American

Put your hands in the air

Hold on the sky



Could be too late

But we still gotta try

There's a moment in our life where a soul can die

And the person in a country when you believe the lie



The lie

There's a promise in the heart of every good dream

It's a call to action, not to fantasy

The end of a dream, the start of what's real



Let it be unity

Let it be community

For refugees like you and me



A country to receive us

Will you be our sanctuary

Refu-jesus



You are rock and roll

You and I are rock and roll

You are rock and roll

Came here looking for American Soul

You are rock and roll



You and I are rock and roll

You are rock and roll

Came here looking for American Soul

American Soul

American Soul
