EmiSunshine and The Rain - Meanwhile In America

I wake up wrapped in the red white and blue|I was born with the freedom|to do what i want to do|It gets me thinking|every time i turn on the news|how blessed i am|simply walking in my shoes||(chorus)|Somewhere in Afghanistan|A mother was stoned to death|for teaching her little girl how to read|Big brother was a casualty|something called an i.e.d.|Didn't know his death was buried in the sand|Meanwhile in America||I woke up on the north side of the rio grande|song in my heart and a guitar in my hand|with just enough money to|go on and chase my dreams|Why would i complain about anything?||Somewhere in Mexico|poverty is just a row you hoe|hold tight to your rosary beads|Mother Mary can do anything|Daddy wires money from san Antonio|Mama prays for the day he's home|His daddy's daddy's daddy did the same|mean while in america
