God saved the queen, but he left you a dream With your brave stuffed in bellies of ships that drifted in The gate to the west was wide open This promised land seemed an infinite land And we nestled ourselves in your arms and the warmth of your skin And that great western plain was never the same again It took years to adjust to our freedom The young and the proud, how we wondered aloud About brotherly love and then push comes to shove once again No death in vain But we were never the same again The sweat and the tears of the formative years The highways were veins pumping life to remains of the land A new era began They caught you in bed with Miss Fortune Poverty bound you were stripped of your crown All the storms had been weathered It brought us together again And then September came And we were never the same again Centuries passed and you're still just a girl But this last generation's not long for this world Who would rather remember the 12th of September We're all patriots when the orange of the embers still glow I think that you know That I'm telling you this 'cause I love you I love that you're proud But you're also too loud So bring it down to a whisper And wait for the world to lean in And the home of the brave Is etched on the graves again Remember their names We were never the same |
