Shouting Across the Land

Chorus

Democrats and Republicans raising up their hands

Shouting so loud you’d think the sky might split the land

How we gonna work together in a place so torn apart

We all got different colors but the same old beating heart

Post-Chorus

Oh, oh, the same old beating heart

Oh, oh, torn apart

Verse 2

Front porch neighbors cross the street, don’t talk no more

Arguing and slamming doors, don’t know what we’re fighting for

Grandad’s shaking his head at all the signs in every yard

Says if no one’s listening, we ain’t ever getting far

Pre-Chorus

Coffee brewing at sunrise, prayers for some peace

We live here together, ain’t no big city retreat

Chorus

Democrats and Republicans raising up their hands

Shouting so loud you’d think the sky might split the land

How we gonna work together in a place so torn apart

We all got different colors but the same old beating heart

Post-Chorus

Oh, oh, the same old beating heart

Oh, oh, torn apart
