Paul Colman Trio - Last Night In America lyrics

rate me

I'm afraid to turn my TV on

And I'm hoping what they said is wrong

Can I just live my lifetime here and then move on?

I've had a million conversations about

Who is right and who is wrong

And how would Jesus want for us to carry on

I'm praying for God's will but secretly wanting

Riches and blessings to pour in my hands

Is this my last night in America?

My tendency is to run away

And try to keep my family safe

But tell me how to hide away from all this hate?

The dominoes that we see fall

Were set in motion long ago

Fear became a flower and the garden grows

I'm seeing the irony, the battle inside of me

You brought me peace now I'm at war with the world

Tell me is there some way out

Tell me that I'm not alone

Show me the mystery oh cornerstone

Is this my last night in America?

Is this my last night in America?

Or is it my last moment anywhere?

Our breath is a vapour that's lost in the air

Is this my last night in America?

Well I've read about a God of war

And painted blood from door to door

Canonized in scripture and in black and white

And I've read about my Jesus Christ

And I've received His sacrifice

But is it turn the other cheek or is it stand and fight?

'Cause I'm just a simple pilgrim I'm not a man with wisdom

What do I do when there's a thief at my door?

Do I resist him or in silence assist him?

What seemed right isn't clear anymore

Is it the fall of a nation or the great tribulation

The eve of invasion or the book of revelation

Well I'll wear my freedom as an invitation

To the God of creation whose keeping the score

Is this my last night in America?

Is this my last night in America?

Is this my last night in America?
