Cecilia Patterson Poet Lyric

What Will Americans Do

What will we do?
When our funds are 
All gone...
 
When we reach for our retirements
And all we get is a sad song...

What will we do?
When our country lies in ruins
When there is no money
To restore our lives,
To restore our nation..

Where will we turn?
For a helping hand..
As others about us 
Enjoy the harvest..
Of our lost.

Does our leaders not know
We are in great need?  
Our people are losing hope..
As tho we were lost at sea.

Why must we suffer?
As we watch our highways crumble..
As we watch our love ones die..

Why must it be?
Answers we get makes no sense...
Where is the Americans
Tax dollars being spent?

We've worked hard
As the years flew by...
We helped many others
As our hearts led us to do..

But now with our Red White and Blue
Hanging by a thread...
What must we do?
To repair our country....
To repair our wounds.
