I See America Hurting

i see a doctor hurting as one of his patients pass.
i see a mother hurting as her children grow up to fast.
i see the firefighters hurting as they put out the fire from 9/11.
i see family's hurting as their loved ones go to heaven.
i see people hurting and wondering what their here for.
i see america hurting while we still remain in war.
i see america hurting as their jobs are taken away, and they are left without pay.
i've seen america hurting everyday.
i've seen america hurting in some very hurtful ways.
