Freedom
I used to believe
in the land of liberty
and the land of the free
There once was a place
where there were no laws
for none were needed
in this
magical
place
called America
Where
English
was spoken
there was no "dial one"
Where God ruled the land
with his firm hand
Where people trusted each other
where did this land go?
Where did the people go?
Where are my brothers in arms
that fought beside me in 'nam
We worked at the barns
and we worked with the cattle
We stayed up from dawn til dusk
The cowboys who used to roam
now sad and alone
do they sit
Singing to the blue corn moon
Telling tales of days now old
This country now gone
and wasted
Corporations outgrew the family farm
Greed overtook love
and the country that used to have
morals
freedom
liberty
justice
now all corrupt
due to
Televisions
wealth
cellphones
laptops
random things
we
really
don't need
over took my land of liberty
This is a song of sorrow
lost love
and how one nation under
GOD
is now a nation *without
