The Land of the Free

   

"The Land of the Free"
~~~
Mobilize into action
We are American after all
Crumbling ash
Blinding eyes
Mobilize
Hear the call
~
The innocent suffered
For what indecent cause
And the ignorant in far away nations
They offered applause
~
And why should I care
It of course was deserved
We offered our arms
And this cost
We reserved
~
We
~
Well of course that would include
You and me
And of course it doesn't matter
If you can't see
~
We are American
The pagan, the God fearing
And the others
Yes
They are we
~
The Buddhists
The Muslims
The Christians
The Jehovah's
Oh and yes of course
~
Me
~
We are Americans
Or can you not see

From the outside
~
These boundaries don't exist
In this country of we
For we are America
The Land of the Free
