I Am Not Proud

I Am Not Proud By Franklin Price 07/02/2020 I am not proud, what can I say, When I look at the U.S.A. And what we've done to it today It makes me want to run away And I could go, for I am free That's what my country's done for me I have the choice to stay or flee But if I went who would I be I could not look you face to face No matter your belief or race So I will stay and by God's grace Help make again a better place Our founding fathers made the call Together they would rise or fall By revolution, had the gall To make this country for us all We must participate, not flee For freedom is not ever free Must work together, you and me To find a place we most agree Must come together for this land Not be apart, but hand in hand That's not so hard to understand To do it would be, oh so, grand Black is black and white is white Together we must join the fight To get us through another night And back again to freedom's light Can demonstrate and hold our ground Lawlessness should not abound Though it is part of freedom's sound No need to have it hang around The Constitution shows the way As citizens, we have a say So let us stop these games we play Before we end the U.S.A.
