Our Love For Liberty

Our Love For Liberty

These hours of naked wonder that excite
awed contemplation for amazing life
enhance primal love of my aching heart
for this ancient land and the varied tribes
who dwell together in her river vales,
united in our love for liberty.

Since brave Eliza Harris long ago,
running from slavery, like the startled fawn,
swam gushing river of hope to escape
oppression of greedy men, took her child
to land of the free and home of the brave,
we celebrate our love for liberty.

Though good people with skin darker than pale
are still oppressed by blind rules of the state,
we continue fight for justice through law
to be applied with equal force of truth
so we together thrive in fertile land
forever ruled by love for liberty.

When I was traveling sea to shining sea,
and played guitar on street of every town,
I sang grand vision of one global world
that dissipated in foul car exhaust
but we join hands around old Tree of Life
united in our love for liberty.
