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

Its such a long walk home

Its such a long walk home

Its 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

Its such a long walk home

Its such a long walk home

Its such a long walk home

We balance the power

From hour to hour

Giant guns rage

Its such a long walk home

Its such a long walk home

Its such a long walk home
