Last Night In America

Last Night In America - Paul Colman

Afraid to turn my tv on

And I'm hoping what they said is wrong

Can I just live my lifetime here and then move on

I've had a million conversations about

Who is right and who is wrong

And how would Jesus want for us to carry on

I'm praying for god's will but secretly wanting

Riches and blessings to pour in my hands

Is this my last night in America

My tendency is to run away

And try to keep my family safe

But tell me how to hide away from all this

Hate

The dominos that we see fall

Set in motion long ago

Fear became a flower and the garden grows

I'm seeing the irony the battle inside of me

You brought me peace now I'm at war with the

World

Tell me is there some way out

Tell me I'm not alone

Show me the mystery oh cornerstone

Is this my last night in America

Is this my last night in America

Or is it my last moment anywhere

Our breath is a vapor that's lost in the air

Is this my last night in America

Well I've read about a god of war

And painted blood from door to door

Canonized in scripture and in black and white

And I've read about my Jesus Christ

And I've received his sacrifice

But is it turn the other cheek or is it

Stand and fight

'cause I'm just a simple pilgrim I'm not a man

With wisdom

What do I do when there's a thief at my

Door

Do I resist him or in silence assist him

What seemed be right

Isn't clear anymore

Is it the fall of a nation or the great

Tribulation

The eve of invasion or the book of revelation

Well I'll wear my freedom as an invitation

To the god of creation who's keeping the score

Is this my last night in America

Is this my last night in America

Or is it my last moment anywhere

Our breath is a vapor that's lost in the air

Is this my last night in America

Is this my last night in America

Is this my last night in America

Is this my last night in America
