Mourning for America

Verse 1
I sit stunned in my pew
Watching the flag-draped chest,
There in full public view
Before she's laid to rest,
Millions hold candle lights
Sing anthems from our past,
Through the long, somber nights
Flags fly at half-mast,

Chorus 1
I'm mourning for America
The godly land I knew,
I'm mourning for America
Good-bye red, white and blue,

Verse 2
Thousands soon line the road
See her procession pass by,
Emotions stir in my soul
As Kings honor her worldwide,
Guns fire 'cross her grave
Taps plays as the sun goes down,
She's carried by her brave
Then lowered in the ground,

Chorus 2
I'm mourning for America
The godly land I knew,
I'm mourning for America
Good-bye red, white and blue,

Bridge
And I begin to cry
Remembering all her pain,
I feel a part of me die
Though her legacy remains,

Chorus 3
I'm mourning for America
The godly land I knew,
I'm mourning for America
Good-bye red, white and blue,
