Bleeding hearts
Bleeding souls
Watching our country
Go down the hole

A place we’ve loved
Where is it now
Being destroyed
Can’t slow it down

Cry for the young
That just don’t know
That America’s different
And it’s starting to show

A few short months
Never seen it so fast
Seems like greased lightening
More damage than a blast

The hardest thing
For my heart to relate
Is some of us chose
This path to take

Blindness is common
As long as it’s change
Can’t be reversed
It’s the name of the game

Sovereignty slipping away
Day by day
Most don’t even know
What that means by the way

Freedoms are gone
It’s our government we’ll serve
Except those of us
That still have the nerve

To raise up a voice
And shout loud and clear
Opposing oppression
Our consciences near

What will happen to us
We won’t get chipped
Refuse to obey
Refuse to submit

It’s a higher Power
We choose to serve
His name is Jesus
His kingdom is superb

So now is the time
To pray to endure
Freedom’s slipping away
May our hearts stand secure
