Looks Like The Only Way

Contributed by Robert Lyons

The only way to free another, when free yourself you aren't

Sacrifice

The way to feed another when bread not enough, break out the knife

The way to success when coming from less, confess that it's not about your life

The only way, honestly, to make your way, is labor, labor, labor daily

So do so gaily from dusk to dawn, then things worth having come along

Like pride and skill and wonderful deals, coming along like a spinning wheel

Relationships and memories worth having when things are dark and lonely

Only way to happiness is pursuit, hear these truths, free yourself

Before getting left in cahoots with those who bind by goofing you

Press is a mess when you switch channels, then have to guess

Be honest in your rhetoric, and to the hectic left, a document on, I will reflect

One paper to die for that's never been reached, discussed and fought for

At home and on foreign beach, the Constitution is the ultimate idea

 Larger than bureaucracy, identity, party or philosophy of politic

It's from creation my freedoms come, a Declaration

To a court of 9 I can fight and win, not dozens of corrupted men

Compromise instead of confrontation is the reason for the legislature

So sublime the separations of powers, divine children can be free

Instead of just a few chosen elite

Everybody can really have

More than any other nation has ever gave, opportunity for all

Stand tall,

It's a sign of what could be, a waving flag of parchment paper

Bread on every table, able bodied men working again

Vulnerable protected,

And in the future when present predicament eliminated

We can stand free in justice and honesty, truth and American prosperity

Unity

Because of sacrifice
