Liberty -

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, then 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

I’m only a stranger here and I’m a long, long way from my home

And they say I can’t change all the things I find strange, For what can one man

do alone?

When is the right time to stand up for freedom?

Could it be when you start to fear creating children?

Who’ll inherit the pain and the debt of this nation

And be slaves to the banks who cause hyperinflation

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 you’ll finally notice?

I’m only a stranger here and I’m a long, long way from my home

And they say I can’t change the things I find strange, For what can one man do

alone?

I’m only a stranger who’s looking to find better nature in my fellow man

But they keep telling me it’s a sin to be free and that’s more than I’m 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 revolution

Standing together and without permission

Soldiers for Truth in the War of Attrition

The love of our country as our ammunition

I’m only a stranger here and I’m a long, long way from my home

But I’m going to change the things I find strange

For I am not one man alone

Yes I’m only a stranger here and I’m a long, long way from my home

But I’m going to change the things I find strange

For I know that I’m not alone

Yes I know, I’m not alone

Not alone
