Open My Eyes
Open my Eyes
What’ going on in this land?
What happen to, “In justice we stand”?
These right-winged judges are making laws
Guarded by a towering wall
Have we the people lost the fight?
Lost the will to protect our rights?
We are now told when we can live, when we can die
Under government’s watchful eye
Where we can pray, where we can speak
Which God we are allow to seek
Whom we can marry, whom we can not
What kind of liberty have we got?
Why are people not accountable for the laws they make?
Why is one person allowed to determine ones fate?
What happen to the rights our fathers fought for?
What happen to the liberties gained with each war?
Am I the one lost in thinking this way?
Am I out of line with too much to say?
I think not, for I have opened my eyes
And I’m trying to do the same to you gals and guys
The freedoms of America, are being stripped away
By lawyers and judges with too much say
Stand up and demand our liberties back
Cause this great land of ours is under attack
