"Should the leaders of a 'nation under God'
believe the end justifies any means
or make a mockery of truth and 'justice for all'
and take liberty with our rights and dreams?
What will become of Lady Liberty in the coming years?
Will her light be burning bright or be extinguished by the tears
Of those whose lives are torn apart by those too blind to see
That the words that follow 'under God'
are the words that could make us free!"
We're never going to be indivisible, with liberty and justice for all,
'til the common good comes before party politics,
and for sale signs are banned in the halls of government.
If we're "one nation under God," God must be disappointed
unless the GOD OF ABUSE OF POWER AND GREED
was recently anointed!
As some still debate about the fate
of the Ten Commandments on the government walls,
we lie and steal for power and kill for oil
and then proceed to break them all!
When We the People do unto others as we'd have done unto US,
maybe then we'll begin to live under God
and in God not gold we'll trust!
What will become of Lady Liberty in the coming years?
Will her light be burning bright or be extinguished by the tears
Of those whose lives are torn apart by those too blind to see
That the words that follow 'under God'
are the words that could make us free!"
Somewhere, someplace, somehow seems
we've lost our American way
to pursuing liberty and justice for all, so while I can, I have to say,
for any patriotic, all American woman, child or man,
no flag should ever be more important
than the rights for which it stands!
What will become of Lady Liberty in the coming years?
Will her light be burning bright or be extinguished by the tears
Of those whose lives are torn apart by those too blind to see
That the words that follow 'under God'
are the words that could make us free!"
I say that the words that follow 'under God'
are the words that could make us free!"
