We Want America Back
by The Steeles

Album: We Want America Back

Something is wrong with America
She once held the Bible
As her conscience and guide
But we've allowed those
Who hold nothing to be sacred
Like Sodom of old, to push morals aside
Where are the men who once stood for right?
And the women who championed their cause?
We must return to the values we left
Before this country we love is totally lost

We want America back
We want America back
From those who have no self-control
We want America back
This nation is like a runaway train
Headed down the wrong track
It's time for the army of God to arise
And say, "We want America back"

I love America
But I do not love what she has become
Scripture says, blessed is a nation
Whose God is the Lord
And America has forgotten
The Godly foundation upon which she was built
Something is wrong
Our children are asked to attend public schools
That in many cases resemble war zones
Without even the most basic right of any soldier
The right to pray to the God of heaven
Many times, the wild-eyed, drug-addicted
Gun-carrying teenager is allowed to stay in school
While our Supreme Court decided
To expel God from the classroom over thirty years ago
Something is wrong
Television daily bombards the senses of our nation
With the idea that wrong is right
That the abnormal is normal
That the abhorrent is acceptable
And that what God calls an abomination
Is nothing more than an alternate lifestyle
And it's had an effect
Thirty years ago, the number one television program
In America was the Andy Griffith Show
Look what we have today
Something is wrong
When our government can pass out contraceptives
To children in school without parental consent
And yet the Gideons can no longer pass out
The Bible on campus
Something is wrong
When our leaders can say to your children and mine
That premarital sex is alright as long as it's safe
Yes, something is wrong
And I for one am ready for a change
I will say to my government
I'm not raising dogs at my house
I'm raising children created in the image
And the likeness of almighty God
And I'm going to teach them the Bible
If the Bible says it's right, it's right
And if the Bible says it's wrong, it's wrong
The only hope that America has
Is that Godly men and women of character
Will stand together as one mighty army
And declare to the immoral, the impure
The obscene and the foul
Your days of unlimited access the minds of America are over
The army of God, that has been silent for too long
Is taking America back

We want America back
Oh, we want America back
From those who have no self-control
We want America back
This nation is like a runaway train
Headed down the wrong track
It's time for the army of God to arise
And say, "We want America back"

Oh, it's time for the army of God to arise
And say, "We want America back"
