Land of free

This is a song...LYRICS

 

In this land of free

the brave walk right by me

and I stand here waiting

waiting to be

 

And the black folds in

a thick curtain

although I fear the end is near

there’s none in sight

 

She cries

pulls the cover up

she tries

but it’s not enough

and the times

the times

are so tough

but we pull

we pull

the covers up

 

Shots in the air

a flag passed down

one mothers despair

one more  in the ground

 

and the rod and the staff

cannot make it right

it’s not stars and stripes

its human life

 

She cries

pulls the cover up

she tries

but it’s not enough

and the times

the times

are so tough

but we pull

we pull

the covers up

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

This song came to me out of nowhere... there is a melodie in my head but I cannot write music so hopefully you can find it on your own.

Reviews

[Vanessa Whiteley]

The repetition is interesting and works well. But, I think this would be stronger if the lines were a little longer. Also, it would be easier to read if you didn't commence each line with a capital and added punctuation.
