Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I saw God out on the block today
He was darker than the preachers say
With a teardrop tattooed on His face
And dirt in His fingers
[Verse 2]
I heard angels when he laughed the way
That people do when they have known true pain
For his sins, I don't know who's to blame
What choice was he given
In this world that we're living
[Verse 3]
When I see you
I see love
I see America
I feel your pain
I share your blood
I see America
[Verse 4]
Said your mother knows a different time
She lets her tongue slip with a glass of wine
She says some things out loud that don't feel right
But you always forgive her
[Verse 5]
Don't you see the world is changing now?
The blood of the fallen cries out from the ground
Violence and rumors in a southern town
Both start with a whisper
But so does the difference
[Verse 6]
When I see you
I see love
I see America
I feel your pain
I share your blood
I see America
[Verse 7]
When I see you
I see love
I see America
I feel your pain
I share your blood
I see America
[Verse 8]
When I see you
I see love
I see America
I feel your pain
I share your blood
I see America
