lyrics

Let freedom ring
That’s what the fireworks are saying in the dark
We never need a reason really
But occasion strikes a spark
America, that person doesn’t live here anymore
Is this who we’re fighting for?

Do we still believe in what the father’s lit the torches for?
And do we care that all our children grow up refugees of war?
America, your flags are burning bright on every shore
It’s not worth it anymore.

We came, huddled and stained
From the shadow of slavery and pain
We’ve got fire in our blood,
I pray to God that there’s a heaven up above

The greatest loss is we’ve forgotten how to find out who we are
And as for what the future holds, well no one looks ahead that far
America, you’re shining with the luster of a dying star

We came, huddled and stained
From the shadow of slavery and pain
We’ve got fire in our blood,
I pray to God that there’s a heaven up above

You can’t throw money at this problem
A real solution must be learned
A global consciousness is not a natural state
It must be earned

Let freedom ring
That’s the excuse that we’ve been using all these years
And if we followed Jesus Christ than all our boys would be right here
In America, we’ve woven you a tapestry of tears

We came, huddled and stained
From the shadow of slavery and pain
We’ve got fire in our blood,
I pray to God that there’s a heaven up above
