America is a knife in the back
America is a gang
America is a cold hair on the back of a polar bear
America is an illness
America is a disease
America is a blind priest
America is married to the money
America is a free for all
America is a school with no boundaries
America is an empty pot of gold
America is a sea of stereotypes
America is a kid
America is a crying baby
America is a broken bone
America is a bully
America is a hardened heart
America is a dark alley
America is a black hole
America is a superhero
America is a Walmart parking lot
America is crossing lines backwards
America is freedom itself
America is an open field
America is Rack M Willie
America is a chess game
America is a question without an answer
America is a Gemini
America is a web of lies
America is throwing its hand in the air
America is a painted canvas
America is a time capsule
America is a fishbowl
America is a mask of secrets
America is a talking parrot
America is a race
America is a welcoming redneck
America is a homeless person
America is a party mix

This is a song by KT Tunstall called Suddenly I See.

"Suddenly I See"

Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on her word

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

And she's taller than most
And she's looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine
Oh she makes me feel like I could be a tower
A big strong tower
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

Brighter than sunshine, sweeter than honey.

People leave you alone if you don’t have money.

Who uses it carefully they are very brainy.

Whatever it may be, I love only man not money.
