Here we are again
Same shit from yesteryear
This time we knew better
This time we had more reasons
Not to fail –
But we did

We the people
Chose a felon
Voted for a rapist
Checked the box
For a liar
It’s who we collectively are

America – do better
We the People – be better

It’s not the party
It’s the man
unfit to lead
An unhinged elitist
Not a genius
Just a wrecking ball

We the People
Chose retribution
Picked chaos
Embraced hate
Composed fear
We call it strength

America – do better
We the People – be better

Because here we are again
Torn apart by false rhetoric
With some very good people
On both sides
I know them well
Yet the divide gets deeper

We the People
Need to remember
To love our neighbor
Regardless of color
Red or blue
No more walls

America – do better
We the People – Be Better

At listening to neighbors
Turning off the noise
Tuning in to conversation
Bridging the divide
Once and for all

We the People
Come together
Understand the other
Not as enemies
Working together
While we still can

America – do better
We the People – be better

We have four more years
to practice peace
