Close your eyes and imagine, the soldier at valley forge   The suffering that he endured was real   Starvation, total war, yet in has eyes the iron will to win   And for the cause, he won't relent      Would he look upon us now in anger and disgust   His politics a birthright and our creed   Will we let ignorance and laziness bring our demise   Complacency, we're blinded by our greed      Standing barefoot, frozen bloody hands   His musket clutched, an iron grip   And for the cause, he has but one regret   He's only got one life to give      Would he look upon us now in anger and disgust   His politics a birthright and our creed   Will we let ignorance and laziness bring our demise   Complacency, we're blinded by our greed      It's time for us, to open up our eyes   And cherish the lives we all can have   And to the ones who kept our freedom free   Words can't express all that you've done      Would he look upon us now in anger and disgust   His politics a birthright and our creed   Will we let ignorance and laziness bring our demise   Complacency, we're blinded by our greed
