American Tears: A Fourth of July Lament

Burhan Syed

We're celebrating freedom, You're probably wondering why Because 30 ton Fireworks light up the Irani sky We're making Ukraine dance while Russia still invades Fast asleep as the lives of Gazans are lost in spades We're proud to be Americans So happy we could cry River of tears, buckets from our eyes We're trying to finding solace, in a chaos that's divine Trying to find happiness in the darkness of the skies While filling up buckets with tears from our eyes Happy 4th of July, let's cheer and shout As the national debt rises and our future is in doubt $33 trillion and counting, it's a burden we can't define A weight that will crush us one fiscal year at a time Medicaid will be cancelled and healthcare is in despair The vulnerable suffer, with no one to care Families torn apart, with people put on planes Off to El-Salvador to never be seen again River of tears, buckets from our eyes We're trying to finding solace, in a chaos that's divine Trying to find happiness in the darkness of the skies While filling up buckets with tears from our eyes

[Verse 1] Fireworks blaze, a nation's pride, Thirty tons light up the Irani sky. Ukraine dances, a somber beat, While Gaza weeps, a bitter treat. [Chorus] American tears, a river flows, In chaos divine, solace grows. Happiness sought in darkened skies, Buckets of tears from our weary eyes. [Verse 2] Fourth of July, a joyful sound, As national debt spins 'round and 'round. Thirty-three trillion, a crushing weight, A fiscal doom, sealed by fate. [Chorus] American tears, a river flows, In chaos divine, solace grows. Happiness sought in darkened skies, Buckets of tears from our weary eyes. [Bridge] Medicaid fades, healthcare's plight, The vulnerable lost in endless night. Families torn, on planes they're sent, To El Salvador, their lives misspent. [Chorus] American tears, a river flows, In chaos divine, solace grows. Happiness sought in darkened skies, Buckets of tears from our weary eyes. [Outro] Tears keep falling, a mournful rain, On a land of promise, etched with pain. [End]
