Analysis of LAND OF THE FREE
Let America again be the land of the free
Like it used to be
We must stand up for the brave
But how many have died and gone to the grave
How many people on the street must die
Before we begin to cry
We must choose our battles and fights
To protect our given rights
Now take offense to those who take our lands
That were fought with sweat, blood and hands
How do we justify the way we live
When we have so much to offer and give
To our own sisters and brothers
And those who take care of the others
So before God we should all pray
To keep the American way
