My Faith, My Country - Michael Tracy

My faith & my country
Oh they tell me I'm a free man
My faith & my country
Oh they tell me I'm a free man

To say beggars will be choosers is not the same
As the meek shall inherit the earth
And if the winners shall be losers
Well that's not your say
Quit playin' like you come from divine birth

My faith & my country
Oh they tell me I'm a free man
My faith & my country
Oh they tell me I'm a free man

So many martyrs & purple hearts
They laid it on the line so I could speak my mind
Now you come around with your new age thoughts
I took a look & saw blind leading blind
I'll tell you one more time...

My faith & my country
Oh they tell me I'm a free man
My faith & my country
Oh they tell me I'm a free man

Yes, you are a free man.
Keep your faith.
Do what you can.
And each useless new age thought,
see each one as good for nought.
Let the hyenas howl, let them scowl,
let them carry on 'til they're carrion.

Bright white stars so bold
on field of midnight blue,
white stripes flecked with gold,
flag of faith, flag of old,
what have we done to you?

Bars deep red, red like blood on snow,
on flag of red, white, and blue,
furled or flying, we still know
though stumbling on paths as we go,
that bent or broken, we stand with you.
