An open letter to America, as a poem written and recited by Bréon Rydell
LETTER FOR AMERICA
Jimmy, Marlene, Humphrey, are the stars that shine so bright
Awakening emotions of a dreamer through the night
Jesse Owens stood there and he won a victory
His elegance and courage would go down in history
The music of the centuries, the jazz of New Orleans
The energy of rock and roll, the world had never seen
Pioneering spacemen and the comics of our youth
It is easily forgotten they were young and searched for truth
I wrote to you a letter
I wrote to you with love
I wrote to you a message
For America with love
John, Paul, Martin Luther, we are looking for you now
For the civil wars of conscience can be seen for miles around
But where are all the leaders that cause the heart to beat
The spirit of the Empire it is dying in the street
By our selfish pleasure we destroy near everything
Not who, or what, or why sir, but politics of sin
And when they come to count us, I hope we will with time
I hope we can be proud sir of those that stood in line
Stand and fight for freedom through the dignity of words
Liberate your spirit with simplicity of love
Fuel the flames of freedom from the valleys to the sea
And burn the past of bitterness for nations to be free
I wrote to you a letter
I wrote to you with love
I wrote to you a message
For America with love........
