From the recording Paradise
Lyrics
Land of the Free
Home of the brave
Something the grown-ups used to say
While they forget to mention
Despite good intentions
400 years and ain’t much changed
They tell the story of American Glory
But the dream got in the way
Scars and
Scars and
Scars and Stripes forever
Scars and
Scars and
Scars and Stripes forever
You could think I should forgive and forget
But I haven’t even started my healing yet
Scars and
Scars and
Scars and Stripes forever
OOOoooh x2
The world is watching
And still we’re marching
On the Lands that were betrayed
My body matters
My heart is shattered
I’ll keep singing anyway
To tell the story of American glory.
They won’t wash our part away!
Scars and
Scars and
Scars and Stripes forever
Scars and
Scars and
Scars and Stripes forever
You could think I should forgive and forget
But I haven’t even started my healing yet
Scars and
Scars and
Scars and Stripes forever
Lady Liberty
Your torch shines for me
Hope one day you get to see your people living free
On that day we’ll sing
We’ll let freedom ring
The chorus of our voices thundering through humanity
OOOOOhhhh
Land of the Free
Home of the brave
400 years and ain’t much changed
