- In the face of this darkness,
- where should I be-
- pining and weeping,
- no faith inside me?
-
- When my beloved country
- is shattered and still,
- and I can no longer
- control my own will-
-
- Who says, "I'm there for you,"
- who dries my tears,
- as we in America
- face some lean years?
-
- Who drives the enemy
- from our front door-
- plays hard ball with countries
- on foreign shores?
-
- Who will there be
- to protect, and to save
- the old Constitution,
- the "Home of the Brave?"
-
- It won't be our leaders
- who pad their own way
- with tax payer dollars
- to retire on someday.
-
- They've long forgotten
- who's really boss,
- looking down pious noses-
- letting us take the loss.
-
- "We the People" have memories
- of much better times.
- You'll not take them from us
- with smooth talk, and sweet rhymes.
-
- For, WE have the power,
- we have the pride
- to shout out to God
- to help, and to guide.
-
- He'll stand beside us
- thru' thick and thru' thin,
- lifting us from this flame
- of iniquity's den.
-
- Our faith will grow stronger-
- who knows where this ends?
- But I feel in my heart,
- REAL CHANGE 'round the bend.
-
- So pray even stronger
- to let our country stand tall
- with fire in her belly,
- and FREEDOM for all.
-
- Again to take back
- what our birth rite once gave-
- to love this land greatly,
- and be no man's slave.
-
- With God's help, we'll conquer,
- our Lord will win,
- and American people
- will thrive once again.
