Lyrics
We’re standing in the shadow
Of our greatest foe
We’re staring in the mirror
At someone that we don’t know
Denying what I feel inside
Don’t tell me that it’s black or white
Cause it’s all about control
That we’re our own worst enemy
The author of our tragedy
Now we’re killing ourselves
Just to cope
We’ve become our own worst fear
Wishing that it all would just disappear
Ashamed to see the death of our liberty
I’ve become so blind
But now I see
What America meant to me
America meant to me
America meant to me
Up till now
I thought I knew myself
What did I really know?
What did I really know?
That I was born with the right
To have a sense of self
Denying what I felt inside
Don’t tell me that I’m black or white
Cause I sold my soul to pretend
That everything would be alright
If I could make it through the night
Cause a mask is a means to an end
I’ve become my own worst fear
Wishing that I could just disappear
Ashamed to see the death of my liberty
I’ve become so blind
But now I see
What America meant to me
America meant to me
We’ve become our own worst fear
Wishing that I could just disappear
Ashamed to see the death of our liberty
I’ve become so blind
But now I see
What America meant to me
America meant to me
America meant to me
America meant to me
America meant to me
