On Her Broken Wings
The symbol of our country
That bald eagle flying free
Is known by every nation
As strong and right and free
Now there are some people out there
Trying hard to bring her down
To put a tether round her leg
Anchor her to solid ground
There are terrorists who fly by night
Corporations greed at day
The ignorant and reckless
Who would take her wings away
For we're embroiled in all these wars
We cannot seem to win
While our dollars getting weaker
As huge debts are settling in
The politicians talk and talk
Wherever apathy is king
Americans need an honest man
To unite them once again
For our way of life's in danger
We just cannot let that be
This is a problem we can solve
Take a page from history
While up above our bird flies on
With sore and broken wings
She still flies for home and country
Ti's freedom's song she sings
Each one of us must do his part
Put our shoulders to the wheel
Show our support for our proud bird
May she soar on wings of steel.
GOD BLESS AMERICA !
