My Weapon
This pen and paper is my freedom
These words provide my life.
There's no way to sever this
For they fight my every strife.
Take away my pen, fool
I'll sign my name in blood.
You can't stop this legacy
My words are like a flood.
These words upon the paper
They can bite or they can heal
Ultimately these words convey
Every crazy thing I feel.
I'm not afraid to die this.
Stop me if you can.
Paul said the stones will cry out.
I dare you to ban this, man.
Yes I speak for Jesus
I'm not afraid to fight
For this pen and paper
Is my eternal light.
The freedom of speech, my friend.
I got the freedom of the press.
So while we speak our minds,
Our government makes their mess.
Go find a big old tree.
Nail me to the cross.
I'll still write for Jesus
It's your own damn loss.
Like Doctor Martin Luther King
This pen and paper is my life
I may not be able to make a change
But I can damn sure fight this strife.
