C#m Can this be America B/D# The home of the free A When for the first time G# I feel like a refugee? C#m Where we sought asylum B/D# we were welcomed A in These days it's G# perceived as a sin Guitar Solo C#m B A G# 2x C#m Do you remember the B fall of Saigon? A The city turned red G# by the Viet Cong C#m The choices they had B were to flee or believe A That's when my family had G# No choice but to leave C#m This is the way of the G# A Vietnamese Where we became B the new refugees E B Whoa whoa A By raising the fences we're lowering the bar E B Whoa whoa A It seems like we're traveling back to Manzanar E B Whoa whoa A By persecuting people just trying to be free E B Whoa whoa A We're stopping them from their pursuit of liberty Post Chorus C#m B A G# C#m B/D# A G# C#m Since when do passports B Without the right stamps A Send people back to G# concentration camps? C#m No sight of future B no guarantees Yet they A still risked it all G# to save their families C#m What kind of world do we G# live in where this is okay?
