Thread: Old America, Rise Up.

Sorry if people find this heavy. It is the Country, I want to live in. You have to face the TRUTH, before you can LIVE IN IT! naturalglenn


Let FREEDOM ring, a song we used to sing
we let it slide, and now we see, it doesn't mean a thing
how then will we bring ourselves, back to center point?
or will the Country, simply crumble down, and disjoint?
to many process is mystery
to me it's only History
in order then to right the Ship
words of FREEDOM must fall from our lips
and more than that, the words, must manifest to MORE
so we can hear that FREEDOM ring, on every single shore

As a country growing up we did amazing things
now as we are growing older, memories wait in the wings
people move conditioned as though they were an ant
I sat back and watched these things, now I rave and rant
I hope that we can right these ills, don't want to say we can't
but the rich and corporations, come up that we 'shant
the time has come for all of us, to look at one another
to see the Land we really ARE, and claim each as our Brother

Time has told the story, of the failing man
it happens all quite simply, when we failing can
not about the bells and whistles of the modern age
but living with each other, simple, told as Sage
in this time, there is no more, virtue with a gun
it is time, for all of us, to STAND UP, and be ONE!

reprise

That thing that you would have, hope it for others too
do it for ourselves, as just the right thing to do
be careful what you want, for it may, in time, come true
and if you dwelt in sickly thoughts, it's coming home to you
remember, you are, by your enemies, defined
treat them cruel and ugly, your own virtue, be undermined

Have Great American Life! PS; in case people like this, I wrote it
