about

Beautiful but sad. Classic sounding track from Silver Lake 66 about the challenges of living through 2020.

lyrics

Too many lives lost, too many hearts broken
So many goodbyes left unspoken
Folks dying alone in hospital beds
We can’t hold their hands or kiss their heads

Cruel cops out on the streets
They’ve got a black man down, he can’t breathe
Angry voices break the still of the night
“No justice, no peace”, make it right

American Tears…

We used to think we were invincible
Now we’re in for a sad, slow ride
The world used to look up to us
Now they feel pity while we cry

American Tears . . .

Our people are mourning, our country is breaking
Warriors all, here for taking
The mad king flails his arms all about
Holding a bible while he burns down the house

Too many lives lost, too many hearts broken
So many goodbyes left unspoken, American Tears
