Why do we sit down, when all should be standing?
And why do we back down at the critical moment?
Like running away from the waves of the ocean:
We head for the hills with the high tide approaching,
As sand slips away from the castle.
When its time to stand upright, why do we falter,
Like placing our freedom on the sacrificial altar?
We hold tight to our fears and defend our oppressors
As we fight for their lies and become the transgressors
As pacifists transform to violent aggressors.
But I'm only a stranger here,
I'm a long, long way from my home.
And they say I can't change
All the things I find strange
For what can one man do alone?
They say "What can one man do alone?"
When is the right time to stand up for freedom?
Could it be when you start to fear creating children
Who'll inherit the pain and the debt of this nation
And be slaves to the banks that cause hyperinflation,
Who are masters of "commerce", lies, and bad legislation.
Woah
If you looked in the eyes of a thousand young children
Through fences of razors, their innocence stolen,
As the red flag of tyranny flies in the open
Is that when you'll finally notice?
Woah
But I'm only a stranger here,
I'm a long, long way from my home.
And they say I can't change
All the things I find strange
For what can one man do alone?
Yes, what can one man do alone?
I'm only a stranger
Looking to find better nature
In my fellow man,
But they keep telling me,
It's a sin to be free,
And that's more than I'm willing to stand.
Where will you be when the order is given
To censor your mind as free speech is forbidden,
As martyrs for peace from the world will be driven
Away by the sound of a billowing thunder,
And choke on the blood of a dream going under?
As arrogant men tear up our Constitution,
And from every direction we cry "Revolution!"
Standing together and without permission,
Soldiers for truth in the war of attrition.
The love of our country is our ammunition.
Woah,
But I'm only a stranger here,
I'm a long, long way from my home.
And I'm going to change
All the things I find strange,
For I am not one man alone.
Yes, I'm only a stranger
I'm a long, long way from my home.
And I'm going to change
All the things I find strange
For I know, that I'm not alone.
Yes I know that I'm not alone.
Not alone.---Lyrics submitted by Guion Willis.
