Fading Freedom
In the land of the brave, where dreams once soared high,
A nation once united, now divided by lies.
The stars and stripes are fading, as shadows cast their gloom,
Americans lose freedoms, facing impending doom.
Oh, the land of the free, where have you gone?
In this floundering nation, we can't carry on.
Liberties eroding, slipping through our hands,
The heart of America, sinking in quicksand.
Once a beacon of hope, symbol of democracy,
Plagued by corruption, drowning in hypocrisy.
Voices of the people silenced, cries unheard,
Power-hungry leaders trample every sacred word.
Oh, the land of the free, where have you gone?
In this floundering nation, we can't carry on.
Liberties eroding, slipping through our hands,
The heart of America, sinking in quicksand.
We must rise together, reclaim what's been lost,
America's spirit cannot be exhaust.
Unity be our anthem, justice our guide,
With courage and resolve, we'll turn the tide.
From sea to shining sea, let freedom's flame ignite,
Fight for justice, restore what's right.
For the soul of our nation, rise hand in hand,
Reclaim the freedoms that define this great land.
Oh, the land of the free, we won't let you fade,
In this floundering nation, we'll make a new way.
Liberties restored, with hope we'll withstand,
The heart of America, lifted from the sand.
So stand together, with unwavering pride,
For the land of the free, never let slide.
In the face of adversity, future vast,
Revive the spirit of America that will forever last.
