Land of the free

Home of the brave

What happened to my country oh lord

What happened to our home

Why has life become so dark

Who is sitting on our throne

Regretting that I sat there

In such an arbitrary fashion

It seemed as I did not care

I watched it as it happened

Days brought heat

like never before

Nights grew colder

A different kind of war

Fire came flowing

From all directions

As floods came in rage

Washing away reflections

Now we line up one by one

in chains and shackles I see

Wasn’t this the home of the brave

And land of the free?

We can hear others screaming

Asking why oh why

And the children disappearing

During the dead of night

Stomachs rumble , bleeding feet

Sight growing dim

Give it up they say

You will never win

As the wind blew loudly

Yet no breeze wondered by

I’m awoke to reality

alone am I?

This is our country

Like it there is no other

We are one nation under god

This land is our mother

for the silence Is over

voices should have never caved

Because we are the land of the free

And the home of the brave
