>>                    America the Beautiful,
>>                      or so you used to be.
>>                    Land of the Pilgrims'  pride;
>>                       I'm glad they'll never see.

>>                    Babies piled in dumpsters,
>>                      Abortion on demand,
>>                    Oh, sweet land of liberty;
>>                      your house is on the sand.
>>
>>                    Our children wander aimlessly
>>                      poisoned by cocaine,
>>                    Choosing to indulge their lusts,
>>                      when God has said abstain.
>>
>>                    From sea to shining sea,
>>                      our Nation turns away
>>                    From the teaching of God's love
>>                      and a need to always pray.
>>
>>                   We've kept God in our temples,
>>                      how callous we have grown.
>>                    When earth is but His footstool,
>>                      and Heaven is His throne.

>>                    We've voted in a government
>>                      that's rotting at the core,
>>                    Appointing Godless Judges
>>                     who throw reason out the door,
>>
>>                    Too soft to place a killer
>>                      in a well deserved tomb,
>>                    But brave enough to kill a baby
>>                      before he leaves the womb.

>>                    You think that God's not angry,
>>                      that our land's a moral slum?
>>                     How much longer will He wait
>>                      before His judgment comes?
>>
>>                    How are we to face our God,
>>                      from Whom we cannot hide?
>>                    What then is left for us to do,
>>                      but stem this evil tide?
>>
>>                   If we who are His children,
>>                      will humbly turn and pray;
>>                    Seek His holy face
>>                      and mend our evil way:
>>
>>                    Then God will hear from Heaven
>>                     and forgive us of our sins,
>>                    He'll heal our sickly land
>>                      and those who live within.
