Lyrics:

Why do we sit down when all should be standing

And why do we back down at the critical moment

Like running away from the waves of the ocean

We head for the hills with the high tide approaching

As sand slips away from the castle

When it’s time to stand upright why do we falter

Like placing our freedom on the sacrificial altar

We hold tight to our fears and defend our oppressors

As we fight for their lies and become the transgressors

As pacifists transform to violent aggressors

But I’m only a stranger here

I’m a long long way from my home

And they say I can’t change

All the things I find strange

For what can one man do alone

What can one man do alone

When is the right time to stand up for freedom

Could it be when you start to feel creating children

Who’ll inherit the pain and the debt of this nation

And be slaves to the banks that cause hyper-inflation

Who are masters of commerce, lies, and bad legislation

If you looked in the eyes of a thousand young children

Through fences of razors, their innocence stolen

As the red flag of tyranny flies in the open

Is that when you’ll finally notice

But I’m only a stranger here

I’m a long long way from my home

And they say I can’t change

All the things I find strange

For what can one man do alone

Yes what can one man do alone

I’m only a stranger looking to find better nature in my fellow man

But they keep telling me it’s a sin to be free

And that’s more than I’m willing to stand

Where will you be when the order is given

To censor your mind as free speech is forbidden

As martyrs for peace from the world will be driven

Away by the sound of a bellowing thunder

And choke on the blood of a dream going under

As arrogant men tear up our Constitution

And from every direction we cry R3VOLution!

Standing together and without permission

Soldiers for truth in the war of attrition

The love of our country as our ammunition

But I’m only a stranger here

I’m a long long way from my home

And I’m going to change

All the things I find strange

For I am not one man alone

Yes I’m only a stranger

I’m a long long way from my home

And I’m going to change

All the things I find strange

For I know that I’m not alone

Yes I know that I’m not alone, not alone
