lyrics

i've been watching the news, seems the world is gonna break down
i've got friends, drenched in a sorrow from the wake of an old town
i've seen my fair share loss, and i've seen the cost, but have i felt the way they feel
american color, is flowing from a rain cloud

i've been watching the world, through a window with a lone view
and it seems, things are saturated in the color of a cold hue
how can, a conversation be so isolating, won't you tell me how you feel
american color, i pouring from a rain cloud

i don't know what it feels like
all i got are my own pair of shoes
i tie em' up as i sit here and watch the news
i know that you're hurting
i'm trying my best to understand
please take me with you, let me see your point of view

i don't wanna be part of the problem
i don't wanna be another passer by
i want to be proud standing by your side
this is american color
seen in the lines used to hyphenate
how much longer will it divide our names
