Everything's gonna be alright, girl, help is on the way
Hold your heads up high now, there is no need to cry now
We're [bad word] anymore

Leave the politics behind, boys, they're not working anymore
So much more at stake here, but it's make or break here
Haven't we been here [bad word] on
Tell me what we're waiting for

Gotta remember, ooh, you don't have to be afraid
You still have the freedom to learn, and say what you wanna say
Gotta remember, no, don't let 'em take away
Land we call the home of the brave

Who sings the songs of the people, you don't hear it anymore
I thought I heard it late last summer, to the beat of a different [bad word] Never sounded quite like this before

So you're trying to shake this feeling, trouble's just outside the door
You lie awake each dark night, like a time bomb wound up too tight
storm in waiting, just [bad word] on
Tell me what we're waiting for

Gotta remember, ooh, you don't have to be afraid
You still have the freedom to learn, and say what you want to say
Gotta remember, no, don't let 'em take away
Land we call the home of the brave
