American Reckoning Lyrics – Bon Jovi
Singer: Bon Jovi
Title: American Reckoning
America’s on fire
There’s protests in the street
Her conscience has been looted
And her soul is under siege
Another mother’s crying
As history repeats
I can’t breathe
God damn those eight long minutes
Lying face-down in cuffs on the ground
Bystanders pleaded for mercy
As one cop shoved a kid in the crowd
When did a judge and a jury
Become a badge and a knee
On these streets
Stay alive, stay alive
Shine a light, stay alive
Use your voice and you remember me
American reckoning
I’ll never know what it’s like
To walk a mile in his shoes
And I’ll never have to have the talk
So it don’t happen to you
Three little words written ‘cross the chest
Of a twelve-year-old who hasn’t lived life yet
‘Am I next?’ ‘Am I next?’
Stay alive, stay alive
Shine a light, stay alive
Use your voice and you remember me
American reckoning
Is this a moment or movement
Is this the tide or a flood
Is our American reckoning
Our story written in blood
Or in love
Or in peace
Stay alive, stay alive
Shine a light, stay alive
Use your voice and you remember me
Stay alive, stay alive
Shine a light, stay alive
Use your voice and you remember me
American reckoning
In our American reckoning
