MASSACHUSETTS
O beautiful for witnesses,
Who weeping took the stand.
Who wished they could have stopped the crime,
And saved the dying man.
America! America!
The rivers of their tears
Brought justice to this thirsty land
Despite our sleepless fears.

O beautiful for tears we shed
For children killed in school,
For high school kids who say Enough!
God, let these students rule.
America! America!
Teach leaders how to cry,
And give them strength to change their views
When kids in classrooms die.
Massachusetts
Therese
O beautiful for protestors,
Who march or take a knee,
Who risk batons and poison gas
So others can breathe free!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
'Til violence ends against our friends
And we can live in peace.
Massachusetts
