Lyrics:
Why do we sit down when all should be standing
And why do we back down at the critical moment
Like running away from the waves of the ocean
We head for the hills with the high tide approaching
As sand slips away from the castle

When it's time to stand upright why do we falter
Like placing our freedom on the sacrificial altar
We hold tight to our fears and defend our oppressors
As we fight for their lies and become the transgressors
As pacifists transform to violent aggressors

But I'm only a stranger here
I'm a long long way from my home
And they say I can't change
All the things I find strange
For what can one man do alone
What can one man do alone

When is the right time to stand up for freedom
Could it be when you start to feel creating children
Who'll inherit the pain and the debt of this nation
And be slaves to the banks that cause hyper-inflation
Who are masters of commerce, lies, and bad legislation

If you looked in the eyes of a thousand young children
Through fences of razors, their innocence stolen
As the red flag of tyranny flies in the open
Is that when you'll finally notice

But I'm only a stranger here
I'm a long long way from my home
And they say I can't change
All the things I find strange
For what can one man do alone
Yes what can one man do alone

I'm only a stranger looking to find better nature in my fellow man
But they keep telling me it's a sin to be free
And that's more than I'm willing to stand

Where will you be when the order is given
To censor your mind as free speech is forbidden
As martyrs for peace from the world will be driven
Away by the sound of a bellowing thunder
And choke on the blood of a dream going under

As arrogant men tear up our Constitution
And from every direction we cry R3VOLution!
Standing together and without permission
Soldiers for truth in the war of attrition
The love of our country as our ammunition

But I'm only a stranger here
I'm a long long way from my home
And I'm going to change
All the things I find strange
For I am not one man alone
Yes I'm only a stranger
I'm a long long way from my home
And I'm going to change
All the things I find strange
For I know that I'm not alone
Yes I know that I'm not alone, not alone

What will prevail in 2012 ? Freedom or Silence ?

[MsSignmama]

Very moving. Thanks so much for writing this. I was listening to this song over & over while sitting here this morning working in my home office, enjoying the freedoms so many take for granted, & wondering why so many Americans are so complacent. May they WAKE UP & DO SOMETHING NOW, before it's too late. Blessings to you & your efforts. OUR FAMILY REALLY ENJOYS ALL YOUR MUSIC!

[P0LICEstateWATCH]

Love me some Jordan Page! Powerful stuff...

[Batta0909]

@reefpirate I figured it out from a live video, this one is confusing in that sometimes it shows chords at the wrong time.

[tlsauls]

Love the lyrics. Keep using your talents to spread the message. People MUST wake up! I just posted my first liberty song yesterday...gonna give it a try lol. Check it out :)

[reefpirate]

@Batta0909 Just watch his hands in this video. You should be learning all the basic open chords anyways, and I'm pretty sure thats mostly what he's using here.
