about

A protest song. This is a call to action for those who feel that our liberty is slowly being taken from us, all while senseless warfare continues around the world. We should always be working towards ushering in a new era of peace, freedom, and mutual respect.

lyrics

LIBERTY


I saw them fly overhead
Circling over the crowd
we turned and marched down broadway

Down to the square of liberty
two blocks from wall street
with revolution in the air

They saw potential and they crushed us in our place

The square of possibility
passion and youthful energy
Hope for the future in our faces

We saw our rights crash to the ground
Here in our stange new land
Was this democracy at hand?

They'll stop at nothing, take their power to the grave

And many sit by thinking nothing has gone wrong...


And how could, I have been so brazen,
seeking all the answers and truth
But Dr. Paul said, all this truth is treason when
you're living in the empire of lies

Realize all the danger outside your home
How can it be so insane?
I'll run through fields of rain

I was, only yesterday, calling for the lesser of evils
But evil is evil and righteous is right
Even when it isn't in style

And realize that the drug war has failed in its goals
How could it be so insane?
I'll run through fields of rain


PEACE


I would be obliged if left alone
To you I'll do the same
and if e'er we meet we'll shake our hands
and then we'll walk away

For the world is ours to share in peace
in distant harmony
We'll maintain the land on which we dwell
so our children can be free

Why do the fools always carry the day
leaders who murder with naught to say

And if indeed there is a God
Help me now, help me now

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16

Is this a dream land cause all this can't be real

Realize all the monsters can win in the end
How can it not be insane?
I'll run through fields of rain
