Let Freedom Ring
Let freedom ring
and everyone else can sing
but me
it's not that I don't support the troops
or that I don't believe in the American Dream
it's just that I don't believe in a country that lies
let freedom ring
and everyone else can sing
but me
it's not that I don't respect the President
or that I don't acknowledge all the country has done
it's just that I don't believe in a country that doesn't practice what it preaches
let freedom ring
and everyone else can sing
but me
it's not that I don't enjoy reading about its history
or that I don't appreciate its citizens and character
it's just that this country really doesn't have equal rights for all
let freedom ring
and everyone else can sing
but me
because until our beloved country actually does what it says
I will not approve
so let freedom ring
and everyone else can sing
but me
