If I’m not allowed to give up on my life, because of how bad things are, then I cannot give up on my country either. Many times over the years, I’ve thought to myself that I no longer love America, because there is so much hate. However, the song/video I’m sharing with this post really made me think. I can’t speak for other countries, but just maybe you can find some pride for your own within this song/video. I don’t think most of us are all that different. So, with Independence Day just around the corner, I’ve decided to stand by the U.S.A. and never give up the hope that we will overcome these adverse times. We are not a perfect country, we never will be, and while I don’t think its all that great right now…it has been and will be again someday. It’s up to us whether we allow adversity and diversity to make us come together or stand apart. I choose to stand proudly amidst all the diversity and proudly claim myself an American.
Thirty Seconds to Mars-Walk on Water
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh (do you believe?) walk on water
Oh oh, oh oh
Can you even see what you’re fighting for?
Bloodlust and a holy war
Listen up, hear the patriots shout
“Times are changing”
In the end, the choice was clear
Take a shot in the face of fear
Fist up in the fiery light
Times are changing
Oh oh, oh oh
Do you believe that you can walk on water?
Oh oh, oh oh
Do you believe that you can win this fight tonight?
(Do you believe?)
Look at the sky, see a dying star
White lies, it’s a man on fire
Making love with the devil hurts
Times are changing
A thin line, the whole truth
The far right, the left view
Breaking all those promises made
Times are changing
Oh oh, oh oh
Do you believe that you can walk on water?
Oh oh, oh oh
Do you believe that you can win this fight tonight?
Oh oh, oh oh
