If you see Liberty tell her I will
Buy her windows on the hill
Laud her flowers on the sill

Till they grow higher and higher.

If Liberty was a little girl

Watching all the flags unfurl
Standing at the big parade
How would she like us now?


We balance the power
From hour to hour

Giant guns rage
It's such a long walk home
It's such a long walk home

It's such a long walk home.

From Vietnam to old Beirut

If we are searching for the truth
Why do we feel
that double-edged blade

Cutting through our hand.

America, America

Where have we gone?
It's such a long walk home
It's such a long walk home

It's such a long walk home.

We balance the power

From hour to hour
Giant guns rage
It's such a long walk home

It's such a long walk home
It's such a long walk home.
