Liberty
Subdivide the world measure out the notes
Try to climb the pyramids of power
Calculate the odds at seven hundred million miles an hour
Pass the ammunition scale the walls of noise
Teach the huddled masses to breathe free
Now it's funny how the tempest tosses dice with equal opportunity
Liberty sacrifice
We can never be free if we can't agree
On the way we pay the price
Her hands of iron hold the torch on high
And chase away the shadows filled with doubt
All the politics and rhetoric of fear is clearly not what she's about
Liberty has gotta mean sacrifice
We can never be free if we can't agree
To meet the lady's price
And she says - I am the architect of dreams
I promise nothing is as simple as it seems
You must forgive me if I cannot give a foolproof guarantee
Still - a wealth of history - should provide some currency
And for all those keepin' score
I still shine a beacon
Right here by an open golden door
Liberty has gotta mean sacrifice
We can never be free if we can't agree
To meet the lady's price.
The dream can never die
If we hold the torch on high
And freedom stays alive
With sacrifice.
