Everything's gonna be alright boys

Help is on the way

Hold your head up high now

There's no need to cry now

We're not running anymore



Leave the politics behind boys

They're not working anymore

There's so much more at stake here

It's make or break here

Haven't we been here before?

(Well come on!)

Tell me what we're waiting for



You gotta remember

You don't have to be afraid

You still have the freedom to learn

And say what you wanna say

You gotta remember

Don't let 'em take away

The land we call the home of the brave



Who sings the song of the people?

You don't hear it anymore

I heard it late last summer

To the beat of a different drummer

It never sounded quite like this before



So you're trying to shake this feeling

That trouble's right outside the door

You lie awake each dark night

Like a time bomb wound up too tight

A storm in waiting, just offshore

(Well, come on!)

Tell me what we're waiting for



You gotta remember

You don't have to be afraid

You still have the freedom to learn

And say what you wanna say

You gotta remember

Don't let 'em take away

The land we call the home of the brave



You gotta remember

You don't have to be afraid

You still have the freedom to learn

And say what you wanna say

You gotta remember

Don't let 'em take away

The land we call the home of the brave



You gotta remember

You don't have to be afraid

You still have the freedom to learn

And say what you wanna say

You gotta remember

Don't let 'em take away

The land we call the home of the brave
