I Weep For The Children

(1)
Firework explosions on the Fourth of July,
When I saw them this year, it made me want to cry
I still pledge allegiance but, I just have to say
That ol' glory's not waving very proudly today,
They're taking our freedoms and robbing us blind,
Is democracy now just a false state of mind?

(Chorus)
I weep for the children,
Their hopes and their dreams
Have been stolen it seems,
I weep for the children,
Let's all take a stance
To give them a chance,
I weep for the children.

(2)
We're seeing a movement in town hall debates,
But I wonder if it's too little too late,
Our Constitution is under attack,
The time has arrived to take our country back,
When voices unite, we know we're not alone,
America's still our home sweet home.

(Repeat Chorus)

Thanks for spreading a peaceful message. Well done. Liz

I love, love, love this song! Keep up the good work and consider that some of the negative commenters on this site are "part of the problem" in America.

LOL !!!!!! It's been over 2 months and this kool-aid drinking moron has yet to meet my challenge !!!!

[thepatriottrio]

You sit back, criticize and do nothing yourself...You've said my song has no substance or meaning because I didn't cover the Iraq War, Global Warming, Health Care and basically all the problems on the planet. Then you say I should have the "solution" included in the song. Here's a public challenge Mr Genius: You write all the world problems into a 3 minute song with rhyming lyrics, then at the end you solve all these problems. Send that song to me and The Patriot Trio will gladly record it LMAO

Americans who opposse single-payer universal health care are against their own children and their own flesh and blood.  Contagious diseases spread and people who can't afford health care spread them. It is you and everyone else who marched in the so-called "tea-bag" protest who needs to WAKE UP !!! Exactly what part of "contagious diseases" can and will infect your own children, even if they have the best coverage, do you fail to understand?

[thepatriottrio]

There is NOTHING "ambiguous" about being concerned for America. There's only so much content a writer can put into a 3 minute song. You need to wake up and realize the disent that's happening at Town Hall Meetings, Tea-Bag Parties or whatever are not Right wing radicals. It's AMERICANS who have enough sense (unlike you) to realize we've been sold out. You avoided my question, "What's your Solution??" It seems your solution is to suck your thumb, wear blinders and drink the left/right Kool-Aid !

[richardaberdeen]

That was my point. Your song is so ambiguous that a year ago, you would have been labeled as a Bush basher. Coming on the heels of the "tea-bag" march on Washington, a reasonable person would assume you are supporting them, because they are waving a big flag and the Constitution and calling themselves "patriots" and similar, as your video is. That is what any reasonable person would assume, based on the limited amount of information in the video.

[thepatriottrio]

What's your problem?? Okay let's review:

Explainations in the song you couldn't grasp or understand (1) They're taking our freedoms and robbing us blind, (2)

Is democracy now just a false state of mind? (3) Our Constitution is under attack,

These are all lyrics in the song, As for offering solutions...other than trying to spread awareness and being active I don't have any..DO YOU??? The funny thing is, if I'd written this song a year ago I'd have been labelled a "Bush Basher" GO FIGURE!!!!!!
