Bigger is always better in America. Unless, of course you are fat. Big guns, big wars and big cars to show off our big money. Except, the guns are being made overseas by children. The wars are being fought for oil or whatever unknown reason the government likes to discuss over tea in the oval office. The oil is being ripped (or spilled) from land where people live, work and pray. That oil then comes by big planes so that we can process it, to make gasoline for our big cars. Where we stand in line at pumps to pay big money for it.....Then you have the tops of mountains being blown off to gather the coal which lay beneath. BIG, BIG ideas!!
Damn, this breathes new meaning to: I've seen the mountain top.
One day, it's here and the next it's gone....just so we can burn that coal to create big energy to power on the big switches in our big houses; even though it's just two of us who live there anyway. BIG, BIG ideas!!
Laughing. Crying. Confused.
But you say; Don't leave the country, it aint safe out there?? Naw fool, it aint safe in here. We find the purest places, and set our sights on it's beauty; then we destroy it.
Land where my Fathers Died, no truer words have been said or sung. "De Facto".
I shake my head and wonder will our empire have to collapse like that of Rome or of Greece for us to understand that there is no greed in love. And if it isn't in love, then surely it cannot be in life.
We sit cozy in our large abodes, resting our permed hair on down pillows as the fire place keeps us warm. Steady slapping God in his face by altering our bodies, hair and land....and for what? Por Que??? It's all part of one BIG problem.
Verse 4, in the key of C-
Our fathers' God to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright,
With freedom's holy light,
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God our King.
