America Again
Carman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson
Samuel Adams, First Chief Justice John Jay
Names synonymous with the spirit of our country
Founding fathers of the U.S.A.

Over 200 years ago they shook off the chains of tyranny from Great Britain By divine call
Citing 27 biblical violations they wrote the Declaration of Independence
With liberty and justice for all

But something happened since Jefferson called the Bible the cornerstone
For American liberty then put it in our schools as a light
Or since "Give me liberty or give me death", Patrick Henry said
Our country was founded on the Gospel of Jesus Christ

We eliminated God from the equation of American life
Thus eliminating the reason this nation first began
From beyond the grave I hear the voices of our founding fathers plead
You need God in America again

Of the 55 men who formed the Constitution
Fifty-two were active members of their church
Founding fathers like Noah Webster who wrote the first dictionary
Could literally quote the Bible chapter and verse

James Madison said, "We've staked our future on our ability to fallow
The Ten Commandments with all our heart"
These men believed you couldn't even call yourself an American
If you subvert the Word of God

In his farewell address, Washington said, "You can't have
National morality apart from religious principle," and it's true
'Cause right now we have nearly 150,000 kids carrying guns
To these war zones we call public schools

In the '40's and '50's student problems were chewing gum and talking
In the '90's, rape and murder are the trend
The only way this nation can even hope to last this decade
Is to put God in America again

The only hope for America is Jesus
The only hope for America is him
If we repent of our ways stand firm and say
We need God in America again

Abe Lincoln said, "The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation
Will be the philosophy of the government of the next"
So when you eliminate the Word of God from the classroom and politics
You eliminate the nation that Word protects
America is now number one in teen pregnancy and violent crime
Number one in illiteracy, drug use and divorce
Every day a new holocaust of 5,000 unborn die
While pornography flood our streets like open sewers

America's dead and dying hand is on the threshold of the Church
While the spirit of Sodom and Gomorrah vex us all
When it gets to the point where people would rather come out of the closet than clean it
It's the sign that the judgement of God is gonna fall

If there's ever been a time to rise up Church, it's now
And as the blood bought saints of the living God proclaim
That it's time to send the alarm from the Church house to The White House
And say, "We want God in America again"

I believe it's time America to stand up and proclaim
That one nation under God is our demand
And send this evil lifestyle back to Satan where it came from
And let the Word of God revive our dying land

For Jesus Christ is coming back again in all His glory
And every eye shall see Him on that day
That's why a new anointing of God's power's coming on us
To boldly tell the world you must be saved

Because astrology won't save you, your horoscope won't save you
The Bible says these things are all farce
If you're born again you don't need to look to the stars for your answers
'Cause you can look to the very One who made those stars

History tells us time and time again
To live like there's no God makes you a fool
If you want to see kids live right
Stop handing out condoms and start handing out the Word of God in schools

The only hope for America is Jesus
The only hope for America is him
If we repent of our ways stand firm and say
We need God in America again
(repeat)

We need God in America




God in America
God in America again

Overall Meaning

The song "America Again" by Carman is a call to return to American values and principles that were established by the founding fathers over 200 years ago. The lyrics pay tribute to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, and John Jay, who were the founding fathers of the United States of America. These men fought against British tyranny and drew up the Declaration of Independence citing 27 biblical violations. They believed in liberty and justice for all and considered the Bible the cornerstone of American liberty. In fact, they put it in schools as a guiding light for future generations.


However, somewhere along the way, the American nation eliminated God from the equation of American life. The song highlights the alarming societal issues in America that have resulted from this change, such as teen pregnancy, violent crime, illiteracy, drug use, divorce, and abortion. Carman argues that the only hope for America is Jesus and that replicating the principles established by the founding fathers, who believed in following the Ten Commandments with all their heart, is the way forward.


The lyrics urge the Church and the American people to stand up, send an alarm from the Church house to the White House, and demand to put God back in America. Carman believes that a new anointing of God's power is needed to boldly proclaim this message to the world.

@Justin Stolowski Amen! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Justin Stolowski

Amen, almost everything that America is doing or have done in the past, is described perfectly sadly in this song. And America needs to wake up and realize what they are doing to corrupt this nation and realize that we need to turn to God.

John Aman

The greatest pro America Christian song I've ever heard. Carman nailed it

Sharon Moore

So true today! Decades after he wrote this song!
