| I had a dream
the other night, I didn't understand. A figure walking through the mist,
with flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty, as he stood
there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat, and speaking low,
he said:
"We fought a revolution, to secure
our liberty. We wrote the Constitution, as a shield from tyranny. For future
generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home
of the brave."
|
| "The freedom we
secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly,
while your parents were asleep. Your freedoms lost, you're no more than
a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave."
"You buy permits to travel, permits
to own a gun, Permits to start a business, or to build a place for one.
On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although
you have no voice in choosing how the money's spent."
"Your children must attend a school
that doesn't educate. Your Christian values can't be taught, according
to the state. You read about the current news, in a regulated press. You
pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS."
"Your money is no longer made of
Silver or of Gold. You trade your wealth for paper, so your life can be
controlled. You pay for crimes that make our Nation turn from God in shame.
You've taken Satan's number, as you've traded in your name."
"You've given government control,
to those who do you harm, So they can padlock churches, and steal the family
farm, And keep your country deep in debt, put men of God in jail, Harass
your fellow countrymen, while corrupted courts prevail."
"Your public servants don't uphold
the solemn oath they've sworn. Your daughters visit doctors so their children
won't he born. Your leaders ship artillery and guns to foreign shores,
And send your sons to slaughter fighting other peoples' wars."
Can you regain the freedom, for which
we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage, or the faith to stand
with pride? Are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or
do you wish your children, live in fear and be a slave?
"Sons of the Republic: Arise and
take a stand! Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land! Preserve
our Great Republic, and each GOD-Given Right. And pray to God to keep the
torch of Freedom burning bright!" |
As I awoke he vanished, in the mist
from which he came. His words were true, we are not free, we have ourselves
to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each GOD-Given Right. We only
watch and tremble, to afraid to stand and fight!
If he stood there by your bedside,
in a dream, while you're asleep, And wonders what remains of our Rights
he fought to keep, What would be your answer, if he called out from the
grave: "Is this still the land of the free and the home of the brave???"
