Just Everyday Americans (Hold On)
(Words and Music by Jerry Wright)
Something's stirring in the Heartland, you can hear it in the wind
It's the sound of freedom's voices, seeking liberty again,
A clarion call's a-rising, being heard throughout the land
Causing men to pause and lift their eyes, and seek His guiding hand
We are Americans, and we're coming, hold on (repeat)
A sleeping giant's awakened, to a government that rules
By lies and broken promises, making laws for just me and you
We've drawn the line at freedom, for life and liberty
Where men can earn their daily bread without fear of tyranny
We are Americans, and we're coming, hold on, hold on
CHORUS:
We don't want closed door sessions, or selling votes behind our backs,
Or telling us what doctors we can choose,
It's not your place to run our lives, that's something we do best
So don't tell us what we have to buy, or do
We love this land, where freedom reigns, this land of liberty,
But nobody's listening now; to either you or me
With bailouts, loans, and bonuses, and losing jobs that just stay lost
You're stealing the future from our children, with all this debt and cost
We're coming America, um hmmm, hold on (repeat)
We're just everyday Americans, believing to the core
The Constitutions is our rock, its truth a mighty sword
It lit the fires of freedom that spread from shore to shore
And gave to us the words to live, free forevermore
Where brave men still salute the flag, with pride and dignity
We're just everyday Americans, just everyday Americans who say,
SPOKEN:
We don't want-to change our country Sir, we'll find someone
Else to take your place
We are Americans, Americans, We are Americans, and we're coming,
God Bless the USA
