Why do we sit down when all should be standing And why do we back down at the critical moment Like running away from the waves of the ocean We head for the hills with the high tide approaching As sand slips away from the castle When its time to stand upright why do we falter Like placing our freedom on the sacrificial altar We hold tight to our fears and defend our oppressors As we fight for their lies and become the transgressors As pacifists transform to violent aggressors But Im only a stranger here Im a long long way from my home And they say I cant change All the things I find strange For what can one man do alone What can one man do alone When is the right time to stand up for freedom Could it be when you start to feel creating children Wholl inherit the pain and the debt of this nation And be slaves to the banks that cause hyper-inflation Who are masters of commerce, lies, and bad legislation If you looked in the eyes of a thousand young children Through fences of razors, their innocence stolen As the red flag of tyranny flies in the open Is that when youll finally notice But Im only a stranger here Im a long long way from my home And they say I cant change All the things I find strange For what can one man do alone Yes what can one man do alone Im only a stranger looking to find better nature in my fellow man But they keep telling me its a sin to be free And thats more than Im willing to stand Where will you be when the order is given To censor your mind as free speech is forbidden As martyrs for peace from the world will be driven Away by the sound of a bellowing thunder And choke on the blood of a dream going under As arrogant men tear up our Constitution And from every direction we cry R3VOLution! Standing together and without permission Soldiers for truth in the war of attrition The love of our country as our ammunition LOVING this song after this week. Thanks Jordan Page :)
