American Tears: A Fourth of July Lament
Burhan Syed[Verse 1] Fireworks blaze, a nation's pride, Thirty tons light up the Irani sky. Ukraine dances, a somber beat, While Gaza weeps, a bitter treat. [Chorus] American tears, a river flows, In chaos divine, solace grows. Happiness sought in darkened skies, Buckets of tears from our weary eyes. [Verse 2] Fourth of July, a joyful sound, As national debt spins 'round and 'round. Thirty-three trillion, a crushing weight, A fiscal doom, sealed by fate. [Chorus] American tears, a river flows, In chaos divine, solace grows. Happiness sought in darkened skies, Buckets of tears from our weary eyes. [Bridge] Medicaid fades, healthcare's plight, The vulnerable lost in endless night. Families torn, on planes they're sent, To El Salvador, their lives misspent. [Chorus] American tears, a river flows, In chaos divine, solace grows. Happiness sought in darkened skies, Buckets of tears from our weary eyes. [Outro] Tears keep falling, a mournful rain, On a land of promise, etched with pain. [End]
