Song about what patriotism REALLY is--taking care of one's country.
I was motivated to write this song due to the misinterpretation that patriotism is about killing people when a leader shoves an unwilling country into war.
In this country there's a choice
If you want to raise your voice.
When our leaders aren't aware
Of the homeless in despair,
And are eager to avoid
Problems of the unemployed,
Patriots will take a stand
To protect their fatherland.
Chorus:
All our battles and our fights
Help to save our civil rights,
Make our country strong and free
And help restore democracy.
If you vote, that's just the start
Now consider taking part.
If we want our problems solved
Everyone must get involved.
That means you, and that means me,
Even if we don't agree.
People must participate
In a democratic state.

Chorus
