RETURN TO INNOCENCE



The eagle of America's freedom,
Above the mountain fly's serene,
America in all its splendor,
The purple mountains and the streams.

A nation numbed by horror,
United in its grief,
The feelings and emotions,
In every American runs so deep.



Tomorrow brings a new day,
A day that's filled with hope,
With the dawn of a new tomorrow,
We'll sculpt our nation's growth.

It won't happen in an hour,
It won't happen in a day,
With strength and unity,
We must all begin to pray.



Our flag is a symbol,
Of freedom and pain,
Our soldiers have fought,
And died for our gain,

Majestic it waves,
Over land and sea,
The red, white and blue,
Our legacy.

With every day that passes,
Our strength will multiply,
You'll feel a return to yourself,
From deep down inside.

Replenished like a river,
After a long hard rain,
We'll feel the return to innocence,
After the dauntless pain.
