Have We Lost The American Dream?

I want to leave you with these lyrics to the song Hands by JewelIf I could tell the world just one thing it would beThat we're all okayAnd not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful and useless in times like theseI won't be made uselessI won't be idle with despairI will gather myself around my faithFor light does the darkness most fearMy hands are small, I knowBut they're not yours, they are my ownBut they're not yours, they are my own andI am never brokenPoverty stole your golden shoesIt didn't steal your laughterAnd heartache came to visit meBut I knew it wasn't ever afterWe'll fight, not out of spiteFor someone must stand up for what's right'Cause where there's a man who has no voiceThere ours shall go singingMy hands are small, I knowBut they're not yours, they are my ownBut they're not yours, they are my own andI am never brokenRest in Peace, Alex Pretti.
