Ringing In My Ears
Adam Thrush |
Child of Europe open your eyes
Even from this lacerated land, This stolen home
Will freedom ring
Even as the cross was stolen to lift the bloodied savior
So too did the flag rise on the bones of the natives
This land was purchased in blood
From blood it grew like some macabre tree
Will freedom ring?
Perhaps the ringing will make the soldier's ears bleed
Perhaps the ringing will make the sky tremble with flame
Perhaps the ringing will make us all the same
But it won't make our beds, It won't feed us,
It won't save the suffering, It won't heal the world
Because like all things freedom is abused
As if born to a dysfunctional family right here in America
