If liberty was a little girl

Watching all the flags unfurl

Standing at the big parade

How would she like us now?



We balance the power

>From hour to hour

Giant guns rage

It's such a long walk home

It's such a long walk home

It's such a long walk home



>From Vietnam to old Beirut

If we are searching for the truth

Why do we feel that double-edged blade

Cutting through our hand



America, America

Where have we gone?

It's such a long walk home

It's such a long walk home

It's such a long walk home



With balance of power

>From hour to hour

Giant guns rage

It's such a long walk home

It's such a long walk home

It's such a long walk home
