متن کامل ترانه American Reckoning با صدای Bon Jovi

America's on fire There's protests in the street Her conscience has been looted And her soul is under siege Another mother's crying As history repeats I can't breathe God damn those eight long minutes Lying face-down in cuffs on the ground Bystanders pleaded for mercy As one cop shoved a kid in the crowd When did a judge and a jury Become a badge and a knee On these streets? Stay alive, stay alive Shine a light, stay alive Use your voice and you remember me American reckoning I'll never know what it's like To walk a mile in his shoes And I'll never have to have the talk So it don't happen to you Three little words written 'cross the chest Of a twelve-year-old who hasn't lived life yet "Am I next?" "Am I next?" Stay alive, stay alive Shine a light, stay alive Use your voice and you remember me American reckoning Is this a moment or movement? Is this the tide or a flood? Is our American reckoning Our story written in blood? Or in love? Or in peace? Stay alive, stay alive Shine a light, stay alive Use your voice and you remember me Stay alive, stay alive Shine a light, stay alive Use your voice and you remember me American reckoning In our American reckoning
