Years of national harmony
I'm afraid are drifting away
Days when we were united
Appears to be of another day.
Leaders of our great country
Are arguing and seldom agree
Hopefully something will happen
Protecting our land of the free.
Lust for power hardens hearts
Like cancer takes away lives
Our freedoms are swiftly slipping away
Like quick deep wounds from sharp knives.
Many people around the world
Would give anything to live in our great land
But today some of them are beginning to wonder
Are our freedoms vanishing like our beach sand.
We need to get our act together
Or some evil force might think we're growing weak
And attempt to take away our country
Words_ it hurts my heart to speak.
