American Warrior
I am the stone that the builder refused
The idea of something great
Held back by a people confused
I am the torch that your old lady holds
Burning with the fires of revolution
Silent but ready, waiting to unfold
I am the mountain from which freedom rings
The same mountain from which they broadcast dreams
Of a life successful and complacent
Wealth and desire hiding their product's seams
I am your neighbor, your lover
I am the soldier who fights for your freedom
And the cop who shot your brother
We are the ones who have been victimized
I am the part of you that has yet to be realized.
