Close your eyes and imagine, the soldier at valley forge
The suffering that he endured was real
Starvation, total war, yet in has eyes the iron will to win
And for the cause, he won't relent
Would he look upon us now in anger and disgust
His politics a birthright and our creed
Will we let ignorance and laziness bring our demise
Complacency, we're blinded by our greed
Standing barefoot, frozen bloody hands
His musket clutched, an iron grip
And for the cause, he has but one regret
He's only got one life to give
Would he look upon us now in anger and disgust
His politics a birthright and our creed
Will we let ignorance and laziness bring our demise
Complacency, we're blinded by our greed
It's time for us, to open up our eyes
And cherish the lives we all can have
And to the ones who kept our freedom free
Words can't express all that you've done
Would he look upon us now in anger and disgust
His politics a birthright and our creed
Will we let ignorance and laziness bring our demise
Complacency, we're blinded by our greed
