The land of the brave and home of the free

The land of the brave and home of the free,
Suffers at the hands of small-minded men;
Stand against the tyrant, never take a knee.

Have faith in your fellow man, stand with me,
Defend our Rights against federal sin;
The land of the brave and home of the free.

We’ll not last without the Liberty Tree,
Time grows short, and opportunity thin;
Stand against the tyrant, never take a knee.

Proclaim anew with bold voice our unity,
And push back against the threat from within;
The land of the brave and home of the free.

So, join hands from sea to shining sea,
Be faithful and strong until we shall win;
Stand against the tyrant, never take a knee.

The Constitution says how it must be,
Take heed and now let freedom ring again;
The land of the brave and home of the free,
Stand against the tyrant, never take a knee.
