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
