From Afar
We can still see Her distant Glory which shimmers from our past
When God was the center of our story and the shadow we cast
All the great things we achieved and the trials that we overcame
We were a land that believed, being lead by Lady Liberty's Flame
But the shine has been taken away and the lusters no longer there
For to God we no longer pray and for His Name we no longer care
So blessed for so long His Amazing Grace was always self evident
But it is God they now try to replace being the new message sent
And as I turn back and look seeing the last of Her glowing flame
satan can be such the crook in putting all of humanity to shame
Wondering ahead in so leaving behind, Her Light no longer aglow
Once with God we were well aligned, "but hey what did they know"
Where once His great Light was Shone from it we now turn away
Many say that we have grown and so as in Eve they also betray
For now she is but darkness having no sense at all of His Light
Man will only make all a mess for only God is Perfect and Right
