American Folk Song

Bound by our rage

And by our margins

Where can we go from here

There’s a mountain

and a brand new page

beyond the Appalachian's way

I never wanted to hate you

I never wanted to hate you

But I’ll go without a word of your consent

The world is beating me down 

Every mile I go

There's a girl a dream and a lust to take it all

Nothing but a chance I’ll be 

On my way

On this day they could say I’m everything wrong

with American folk songs

Sing this one to the homeless

Strum this one for vagrant

To the veteran of a

 foreign campaign

He’ll fight till his final days

Every moment he’s in pain 

Is a moment we’re all in pain

But he'll go without a word of our consent

The world is beating me down 

Every mile I go

There's a girl a dream and a lust to take it all

Nothing but a chance I’ll be 

On my way

On this day they could say I’m everything wrong 

with American folk songs

Salt the wound

Use fire if we must

I’m gonna change this world

Starting with us

We came to conquer not to kill

But you keep testing my will

And soon I’ll do what I will

Together we must

Travel the path less traveled 

Wrestle the earth and gravel

Bend steel to our pleasing

Rebuild to our rebirth

Travel a path less traveled 

Wrestle the earth and gravel

Bend steel to our pleasing

Rebuild to our rebirth

Through the mountains over the valleys

To survive the cold we must be powerful

We must be bold 

we must be valiant

'Cause There's life beyond the hurt

There's life beyond the Horizon

The world is beating me down 

Every mile I go

There's a girl a dream and a lust to take it all

Nothing but a chance I’ll be 

On my way

On this day they could say I’m everything wrong 

with American folk songs
