Downhere Album: So Much for Substitutes Track: In America
In America Lyrics
Jason Germain / Marc Martel
Is it better not to look back or should we dust off our journals Stare deep through the feedback for the new day Like the distortion has things to say Is it better to ignore it, that these bomb shelters are built of sand Scoring themes from our views, making movies of tragic news Does this helpless picnic have its own Neverland
Chorus America never hurts They say America never cries Like no one's lost in America No one's lost in America
Luke 6:20-38 This was inspired as I was thinking about loneliness, what causes loneliness, and trying to understand my own loneliness. I equated loneliness with selfishness in this song and I'm specifically talking about how our North American culture revolves around 'me' based comfort and consumerism. Society tries to make us into self-gods, the complete opposite idea of us as the Church being the arms of Christ. (Jason Germain)
