Morning in America

It's still in San Diego You can hear a baby cryin' As the trains in New York City Roll thunder down the line The teachers rise in Richmond As they sleep in San Antone While the harbor lights on Baltimore Got nurses headed home And the jails of Mericopa Say a man is but his wrong It's morning in America But I can't see the dawn Congressmen in Washington Receive their brief n' brew While lead it fills the pipe lines In a Detroit county school And I think of my grandmother How she told me to be strong It's morning in America But I can't see the dawn A junkie waits at Jacksonville Prescription for the pain As what the doctor ordered Comes screaming through the vein And in towns across the country It's color that divides When in working men and ladies We could find our common side It's morning in America It's morning in America We're mourning in America And I can't see the dawn No
