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

Its such a long walk home

Its such a long walk home

Its 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?
Its such a long walk home
Its such a long walk home
Its such a long walk home.
We balance the power
From hour to hour

Giant guns rage

Its such a long walk home

Its such a long walk home

Its such a long walk home.
