Evolution Revolution

The pride and passion practiced and prolonged in one strong life, Rejects the call to whimsy in this willful, wasted world. Aware of all redundancies in suffering and strife They still display with honor our great nation's flag unfurled. There's glory in the glory of a greater guarantee, Described in dedications made by immigrants of old Who came here longing for a little bright-light liberty And shared their perfect passioin with the proudly brave and bold. And we begin each year with brand new challenges to face With seismic salutation to grand stories yet untold Where even greater gifts of glory bind the human race When beauty of such brotherhood shines bright upon the fold. To timelessness of spirit add the courage to engage As part of all our sisters and our brothers standing strong Against those evil tyrants who run empires filled with rage We'll fight with every ounce of might ingrained within our song. We sing the songs and serenades to lift our fighting soul, In honor of our heroes and the hallowed ground that bleeds With blood of men and women who have died but are made whole When heaven's warrior soldiers cast down perfect planting seeds. Oh glory to this nation and the citizens who dwell Within her borders beautiful and stand up unified We send a message made to tether tyrants deep in hell, So in the name of liberty our world is glorified. Let's take the steps we need to make all eulogies in war As rare as any politician's honesty is rare. Then hopefully the populus will soon learn to adore An evolution revolution men of peace can wear.
