*One day this nation will rise up
and live out the true meaning of its creed
we hold these truths to be self evident
that all men are created equal*
Listen ye huddled masses
Yearning for some free time
Open up your containers
We haven’t cut loose in awhile
Streetlights go from red to yellow
Oh will you come home my only son
You’re away fighting wars that we've already won
What are we doin’ here?
But fucking up the atmosphere
With planes, tanks, nuclear bombs
How long will this go on?
- Instrumental break/solo -
Leaning against the willow tree
Thinking of things beyond you and me
Searching to the sky
If only mankind had more time
Peace seems just out of reach
On one quiet stormy night
Wind screams beneath the moon
Nature defies all rules
Only a fool lives by someone else’s rules
All your rules hurt my peace of mind
- Solo –
Oh believe in that one day Ill find the reason Ive kept hope alive
trying to get the kids to sleep at night
i keep praying, i keep praying
for that one day I find the reason Ive kept hope alive
trying to get the kids to sleep at night
I keep praying, I keep praying for....
