TO KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG, AND DO NOTHING, IS COWARDICE.
To none but God shall I bow my head.
To another man, I’d rather be dead.
We are American born, American free.
It is our job to make her all she can be.
Stand up you Americans, fight that we see.
It is yours, and our responsibility .
With half the time, that we spend to complain.
We can fix the problem, and end the pain.
God ordained this nation, to pull our train.
Stand up you Americans what do you say.
A greedy few, trying to take our pay.
Its up to ‘we’ to join, and direct this play.
Count on your fingers, and you shall see.
“Nine to One” our advantage be.
Let’s stand up Americans, and set us free.
“Government of the people”, a leisure cruise.
It is not a fight that we can lose.
It has to be the way we choose.
There is a path that’s free and clean.
One that makes her be, what she should mean.
Get up Americans, peacefully, as on each other we do lean.
Droop not your head to another man.
Scuff not your toe, and view the sand.
Shoulder to shoulder, let us make a stand..
We can fuel her dimming flame.
No time for pointing, and placing blame.
Let us lift her, from her growing shame.
When looking in the mirror what do we see?
An American who stood up to responsibility?
Its not them, and its not me, matter of fact its all of we.
As for me, hear these words I speak.
It must be her fairness, and honor we seek.
She must be strong, or we are weak.
To none but God shall I bow my head.
To another man, I’d rather be dead.
We are American born, and American free.
