Lyrics

One nation under god, and in him we trust
Well I'll believe it when I see it but I won't get my hopes up
This melting pot of age, denomination, and race
Has boiled over with prejudice, disgraced and shame faced
Open your eyes people, things are gettin' sick
Murder is legal, and the killers get rich
Call this the land of the free and the home of the brave
Well I see people in chains and they're too blind to see that they're slaves
I won't call this home
Hate, it's the national pastime. too late, it sung its song for the last time
I'm building my stronghold on the rock of ages
Not on the sands of sin because I know its wages are death
But god's love has given the breath of new life. so don't forget
Watch tv and see the world's definition of love
Immorality glorified far above the importance of where man stands with god
And I think its got to stop!
I won't call this home
Every time I turn my head, this place, it's in my face. so blasphemous
Screaming its obscenities, its abominations bleed my eyes. disease
These wicked flames, that flicker pain, try night and day to consume me
The smell of death on everything I touch, cost of acceptance far too much
But not for long, I'm going home, my savior's coming for me
I've got to hold my head up high, try not to lose my focus
I've got to stand my ground, while this world rips at my flesh
But not for long, I'm going home, my savior's coming for me
This nation we witness, the child of progress
The land of opportunity, the land of success
Is just a caldron of souls that's about overfilled
An empire the devil has worked so hard to build
So for as long as I'm here, for the rest of my days
I won't conform to this world, I won't adopt its ways
Christ's kingdom is coming and without him it's hopeless
So until that day you can consider me homeless
Homeless - for now - always - homeward bound!
Homeless - for now - always - homeward bound!
Homeless - for now - always - homeward bound!
Homeless - for now - I won't - call this place home!
