His teacher says
it’s just practice drill
In spite of that it scares him still
So he tries his best
To disappear beneath his desk
If he can do it perfectly
He might not be another
casualty like those other kids
If he can just stay hid
Is this now what we call civilized
Becoming numb
till we’re desensitized
Another day in America
Another piece of innocence is lost
Another day in America
Another line
we can’t get back across
But at what cost
Maria dreams of light up shoes
With laces iridescent blue
Sure to light the street
Like firecrackers on her feet
Her mother smiles trying
to mask her doubts
For fear her daughter
might stand out
And God forbid
If she did
Though this is where
her child was born and raised
That doesn't seem
to matter much these days
All she can do is pray
It's just another day in America
Another piece of innocence is lost
Another day in America
Another line we can’t get back across
But at what cost
How am I supposed
to love my brother
When we can't even see each other
Another day in America
Another piece of innocence is lost
Another day in America
Another line
we can’t get back across
But at what cost
But at what cost
But at what cost
But at what cost
