It's Still My Home, Sweet Home
Posted: July 4, 2010
Birthday wishes to a not-so-beautiful America…
In spite of BP's oil spills
and murders in the Oakland Hills,
I'm grateful that America
is still my home, sweet home
Despite a weak economy
and healthcare battles in DC,
the greatest nation in the world
is still my home, sweet home.
And though police are shot and killed
and kids go missing ‘gainst their will,
I'm grateful there's the rule of law
within my home, sweet home.
And while our heroes cheat on wives
and some we trust get caught in lies
we value truth and being true
here in my home, sweet home.
And even though we're still at war
and critics protest shore to shore,
the right to fight and criticize
defines my home sweet home.
Yes, where I live still has its flaws.
To honor God's against the law
and yet He is the reason
why I love my home, sweet home.
