0:00I saw god out on the block today
0:05He was darker than the preachers say
0:09With a teardrop tattooed on his face
0:14And dirt on his fingers
0:19I heard angels when he laughed the way
0:24That people do when they have known true pain
0:28For his sins I don't know who's to blame
0:33What choice was he given
0:35In this world that we're living
0:38When I see you
0:40I see love
0:43I see america
0:47I feel your pain
0:49I share your blood
0:52I see america
1:06Said your mother knows a different time
1:11She lets her tongue slip with a glass of wine
1:14And says some things out loud that don't feel right
1:19And you always forgive her
1:25But don't you see the world is changing now
1:30The blood of the fallen cries out from the ground
1:35Violence and rumors in a southern town both start with a whisper
1:42But so does the difference
1:44When I see you
1:50I see love
2:03I see america
2:12I feel your pain
2:22I share your blood
2:25I see america
I saw god out on the block today He was darker than the preachers say With a teardrop tattooed on his face And dirt on his fingers I heard angels when he laughed the way That people do when they have known true pain For his sins I don't know who's to blame What choice was he given In this world that we're living When I see you I see love I see america I feel your pain I share your blood I see america Said your mother knows a different time She lets her tongue slip with a glass of wine And says some things out loud that don't feel right And you always forgive her But don't you see the world is changing now The blood of the fallen cries out from the ground Violence and rumors in a southern town both start with a whisper But so does the difference When I see you I see love I see america I feel your pain I share your blood I see america
