Lyrics

Let me take you back
To 1944
It was the 6th of June
During the 2nd World War
They turned the ocean Red
Lit up the French skyline
Citizen Soldiers
Defending our way of Life
Altar of Freedom got full
That’s how we Survived
Brave men and women of Hope
Kept our world Alive
Flash forward 60 Years
Again in Troubled Times
Another Viet Nam
Trading money for Lives
Families grief stricken
Here at Home and abroad
I can be for our Armed Forces
But still against the War
How do we live in a World
When things get too far
How will it end ~ I don’t know
Seems we’re being left Behind
We can ~ Put a man up on the Moon
But we can’t save our ever-ending sky
Why ~ Profit Margin
We could ~ Feed the World
And end Oppression if we tried
A Tribute to Mankind
~ Mission Statement ~
The planet keeps getting smaller
Not one nation ~ I’m thinking Taller
An effort designed to bring
~ Us Together ~
Did you ever think
We could forget our own
Yet it happened right Here
The Hurricane hit Home
Our Leaders dropped the ball
Forgot ~ Turned their backs
It hurt so bad
Something they won’t get past
Life ~ Liberty ~ Pursuit
That’s my America
If we don’t change ~ I don’t know
How long we can Skate by
How do we live in a World
When it’s gone Too Far
We’re living in a whole World
Not just ~ America ~
How do we ~ Live in a World
