“Americana”
music by Jonathan Bailey Holland
lyrics by Joel P. West

Slowly streams flow
Through the desert’s dry soul
Borrowed
Routed out to make our homes

For miles and miles
Past prisons of people that we exiled
Who loved the land
And thought we had no power over it
We proved them wrong

Now this desert
Dressed up in excess
Serves as reference

Illustrations
Constant and tame, polished and vain

Send back demand through a land of abundance
With grass green and pungent, but nothing of fame

Through the screens in each home to the opposite seashore
Developing a need for exemplar and name

Now each man and landscape adorned just the same
Made in the image of images we’ve made
