Lyrics

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
