Land of the Free

from America, Dreaming by Noah Derksen

lyrics

land of the free
land of the free fallen
land of the free
falling onto its knees

our fathers who stood before us
on the sandy shores of Lake Michigan
throwing rocks at the drowning men
to see if they would sink, or if they’d swim

do you feel the freedom now
can you taste it
well then sing it out loud

land of the free
land of the free fallen
land of the free
falling onto its knees

there you sit with your ball and chain
I hear you cursing out the Lord’s name
ain’t it always the same

just quit your bitching and moaning
Sandy Hook was one of a kind,
just like Vietnam
and whatever happened in 1945

land of the free
land of the free fallen
land of the free
falling onto its knees

but baby, if we were born to run
then why do we need a starting gun

in the land of the free
land of the free fallen
land of the free
falling onto its, falling onto its

land of the free
land of the free fallen
land of the free
falling onto its, falling onto its knees
