[00:00.00]For America (LP版) - Jackson Browne (杰克逊·布朗)
[00:11.79]Written by：Jackson Browne
[00:23.58]As if I really didn't understand
[00:26.17]
[00:26.82]That I was just another part of their plan
[00:29.69]I went off looking for the promise
[00:32.01]Believing in the motherland
[00:34.06]
[00:37.08]And from the comfort of a dreamer's bed
[00:39.59]
[00:40.20]And the safety of my own head
[00:43.08]I went on speaking of the future
[00:45.35]While other people fought and bled
[00:48.05]
[00:49.89]The kid I was when I first left home
[00:53.14]Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own
[00:56.17]But the freedom that he found wasn't quite as sweet
[00:59.38]When the truth was known
[01:00.96]
[01:05.16]I have prayed for America
[01:07.22]
[01:08.50]I was made for America
[01:10.66]
[01:11.42]It's in my blood and in my bones
[01:16.41]
[01:18.56]By the dawn's early light
[01:20.45]
[01:21.51]By all I know is right
[01:23.16]
[01:25.21]We're going to reap what we have sown
[01:28.01]
[01:40.31]As if freedom was a question of might
[01:42.57]
[01:43.58]As if loyalty was black and white
[01:45.78]
[01:46.84]You hear people say it all the time
[01:48.94]My country wrong or right
[01:50.87]
[01:53.58]I want to know what that's got to do
[01:55.80]
[01:56.83]With what it takes to find out what's true
[01:59.23]
[02:00.22]With everyone from the president on down
[02:02.39]Trying to keep it from you
[02:04.64]
[02:06.74]The thing I wonder about the dads and moms
[02:09.73]Who send their sons to the vietnams
[02:13.03]Will they really think their way of life
[02:15.05]Has been protected as the next war comes
[02:17.47]
[02:21.89]I have prayed for America
[02:23.80]
[02:25.25]I was made for America
[02:27.22]
[02:28.20]Her shining dream plays in my mind
[02:32.84]
[02:35.44]By the rockets red glare
[02:36.98]
[02:38.14]A generation's blank stare
[02:40.74]We better wake her up this time
[02:44.36]
[03:27.27]The kid I was when I first left home
[03:29.88]Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own
[03:32.90]But the freedom that he found wasn't quite as sweet
[03:36.11]
[03:36.76]When the truth was known
[03:37.99]
[03:42.03]I have prayed for America
[03:44.15]
[03:45.33]I was made for America
[03:47.42]
[03:48.26]I can't let go till she comes around
[03:53.01]
[03:55.30]Until the land of the free
[03:57.30]
[03:58.75]Is awake and can see
[04:00.38]
[04:01.75]And until her conscience has been found
