Lyric Long Walk Home

If you see Liberty tell her I will
Buy her windows on the hill
Laud her flowers on the sill
Till they grow higher and higher.

If Liberty was a little girl
Watching all the flags unfurl
Standing at the big parade
How would she like us now?

We balance the power
From hour to hour
Giant guns rage
It s such a long walk home
It s such a long walk home
It s such a long walk home.

From Vietnam to old Beirut
If we are searching for the truth
Why do we feel
that double-edged blade
Cutting through our hand.

America, America
Where have we gone?
It s such a long walk home
It s such a long walk home
It s such a long walk home.

We balance the power
From hour to hour
Giant guns rage
It s such a long walk home
It s such a long walk home
It s such a long walk home.
