A little reminder that maybe, as countries, we were never great and that, maybe, we should never have been aiming at greatness to begin with. Maybe, now more than ever, as countries, as societies, as people, wherever we live, maybe we should be doing our best to make it good again.

lyrics

"MAKE IT GOOD AGAIN"

1. There's an ill wind about
There's something in the air
That doesn't feel quite right
The world keeps getting colder
As "the rockets' red glare"
Becomes our only source of heat and light
We keep slipping through cracks
All these "alternative facts"
Making it hard to know what's true
We can find our way back
Call off these attacks
You know, it's only up to me and you

Refrain
And when the powers that be
Make it you against me
We don't have to listen
No, we don't have to listen
While they're building their walls
And the pride before the fall
We can find a better way
We can build a brighter day ...

Chorus
We can turn this boat around
We can work it all out
We can disagree and share the land
We don't need to be "Great"
But it's time to take a stand
Take this home of ours
And make it good again

2. Oh say can you see by dawn's early light
What so proudly we once hailed
Before all the strangeness swept our lives
And told the lie that all had failed
See the chrysalis cracking on a brave new world
We people are more than a flag unfurled
We don't need no saviors
Just a little more light
Open hearts and open minds
That illuminate the night...

Refrain
And when the powers that be
Make it you against me
We don't have to listen
No, we don't have to listen
While they're building their walls
And the pride before the fall
We can find a better way
We can build a brighter day ...

[Solos]
[Quiet guitar]

Chorus
We can turn this boat around
We can work it all out
We can disagree and share the land
We don't need to be "Great"
But it's time to take a stand
Take this home of ours
And make it good again....

We can turn this boat around
We can work it all out
We can disagree and share the land
