Land of the Free?
V1
Dm C Dm Am
A baby was killed just the other day, a few doors down from me
Dm C Dm G
no one came to his rescue, no one came to his aid.
Dm C Dm Am
The police and the government they didn't care that the little life was lost
Dm C Dm G Am
according to the law of the land we live the killing is OK!
Chorus:
Am E G Am
I live in a land the home of the brave, land of the free,
Am E G Am
but tell me how free can we be when the killing continues each day
Am E G Am
I live in a land where from sea to sea God shed His Grace on thee
Am E G Am
but tell me how long will that favor appear when we fail to protect our free
G Dm Am Dm G
fail to protect our free.
V2
Dm C Dm Am
The funeral occur just the other day at a site within our state
Dm C Dm G
but no one there knew the baby was being buried in the waste
Dm C Dm Am
This was a life that God created to be born and be free
Dm C Dm G
how can this keep on happening in the land of the free
Bridge:
Am G F E Am G F E
America, America God shed His Grace on thee on thee x2
