She looked out the window and said, "The world's on fire" That's when I laughed and poured her a glass of wine We just stared at the TV tryin' to find some meanin' Hopin' that we'd wake up from this dream Sometime tomorrow Well the night came and went, not a damn thing had changed That's when I saw a tear fall from her eyes She said, "What are we gonna do? What's this world comin' to?" For the first time in my whole life I stood there speechless The load is heavy and the road is long And we've only begun to fight We just can't give in, we just can't give up We must go boldly into the darkness And be the light So I packed up my car and went lookin' for answers To the questions weighin' on my mind When did The Land of the Free become The Home of the Afraid? Afraid of the world, afraid of the truth Afraid of each other This ain't the country my grandfather fought for But I still see the hate he fought against Give rest to the tired, give mercy to the poor Give warmth to the huddled masses And I'll show you freedom The load is heavy and the road is long And we've only begun to fight We just can't give in, we just can't give up We must go boldly into the darkness And be the light I got a baby girl comin' in the spring I worry 'bout the world she's comin' into But she'll have my fight, she'll have her mama's fire If anyone builds a wall in her journey Baby, bust right through it The load is heavy and the road is long And we've only begun to fight We just can't give in, we just can't give up We must go boldly into the darkness The load is heavy and the road is long And we've only begun to fight We just can't give in, we just can't give up We must go boldly into the darkness And be the light
