As I walk in wide-eyed silence through the hallways of our history
Past the car where they killed Kennedy, the armchair where died Lincoln
I want to break the silence but these days no one is listening
And though I try to push it from my mind I can't help thinking

That it's midnight in America
It's midnight in America
Midnight in America
I pray upon this nation under God the sun will someday shine again

Under headlines all divisive quakes a world devoid of wisdom
Seventeen are dead in parkland, now eleven more in Pittsburg
And how can we break the cycle when it seems they've fixed the system
And fifteen hundred missing children's not the sickness just the symptom

Of a midnight in America
It's midnight in America
Midnight in America
I pray upon this nation under God the sun will someday shine again
Someday shine again
The sun will someday shine again
Someday shine again

But I will keep on fighting for America
And living out the promise of America
Cause that's why momma's momma chose America
And I'm not giving up on my America

There's a woman laying whiskey down it's how she spends her evening
But from ten to four she's walking door to door handing out leaflets
With a mortgage and two children for a world they can believe in
Well as long as her hearts beating mama 

I'm not giving up on my America
I'm not giving up on my America
Cause that's why momma's momma chose America
And I'm not giving up on my America
