Verse 1
G 
I am the loss, spirit of my country,
Who will come to claim me?
I am an
American, and am seeking a fellow
American, and cannot find him.
I am in
America and am seeking the fathers
of my country and cannot find them.
I am in
America, and through the years of my youth,
have been seeking a true
American and cannot find him.
I am the lost spirit of my country,
Eb 
G 
who will come to claim me?
I wander longingly over the lonely roads of the land,
won't someone come to take me home?
Eb 
G 
I   wander here and
there, going nowhere.
Won't someone recognize me?
I extend all that I am to all I need.
Eb 
Won't someone take up my greeting?
G 
Where is the brother?
Ab 
G 
My brother? I am the
Ab 
G 
lost spirit of my country.
Ab 
G 
Who will come to claim me?
Show me your example of an
American, and I will show you a
foreigner to the spirit of
my land.
Ab 
Show me your example of an
American, and I will show you the
G 
cause and the effect of
of spiritless land.
Ab 
G 
Show me your example of an
American
and I'll show you the
Ab 
G 
dreaded enemy of the land.
I am the lost spirit of my country.
Who will come to claim me?
I am the sun and the sun that
is waiting and weeping.
Without me, there is no meaning.
Without me, there is no hope.
Ab 
G 
I   am the joy and I am the beauty.
I am the smile behind the
purpose of things.
Ab 
G 
Without me there is no love and without me
there is no movement of the heart.
Who?
Oh, who blew out the light?
Who is to blame for
the death of the spirit?
Who shall stand trial before the judges and the witnesses
of the future for the murder of the spirit?
Ab 
Db 
The accused knows
Ab

neither himself nor his shame.
Ab

Ab 
For the accused are all those
G 
Ab 
G 
Ab 
who now in  habit my land,
G 
Are all those who live shamelessly,
without conscience or responsibility for their manhood.
Ab 
G 
The accused are all those who eat, loo,
Ab 
G 
greed -foaming mouths we see everywhere, cheating and choking,
grabbing for themselves
the fruits of the land.
Ab 
G 
The accused are all those human parasites,
Ab 
G 
feeding upon one an  other and all else,
eating away the only way, the right way to do action,
that selflessness in works.
The accused are all those dead people living upon my land,
Ab 
devouring the fragrance and the breath of life from the air.
G 
Ab 
The accused are all those in high places,
The leaders and the movers of mankind,
Who live without beautiful
purpose or concept,
G 
Without a dream.
Ab 
G 
The accused are all these criminals,
Ab 
Breeding obscenity and ignorance to
G 
Ab

follow in their way.
I am the
Lord,
Spirit of
Ab

Home, home will make me
Ab 
G

grow.
And what is the lost spirit of
America?
Oh, my elders, come, find me.
Come, claim me.
And I will show you, and you will know,
