It Takes More
It takes a powerful force to be passive.
It takes more than trust to be bonded.
It takes more than bloodshed to be savage.
It takes more than stripes to be branded.
It takes more than an oath to be trusted.
For actions speak louder than words
And Captains seek power in yours.
An eye for an eye, this is true, but it seems
What WE see will never be truly redeemed
To us.
It takes more than a speech to be above me.
More than a signature to unify a country
It takes more than a few extra cents for you to own me.
Make sense of your pride and also 'knowledge your lies.
And we can truly be great once again.
