We the People Not a King VIDEO

Great slide video in sync with the lyrics of this great song.

We The People Not a King

[Verse 1] No crown on the hillside No throne in the square Just a folded flag on a front porch rail And a promise hanging in the air Old words on fragile paper Still stronger than a gun From the farms and the factory gates We stand up as one (oh yeah)

[Pre-Chorus] Every voice, every neighbor Every hand on the plow We decide what we live for We decide it now

[Chorus] We the people, not a king Every heart, every hand, every vote we bring Red and yellow, black and white All of us are shining in the same hard light Under one Constitution Under one sky above We the people rule America In equal justice, equal love

[Verse 2] Not ruled by a strongman Not owned by a throne Just a jury of our fellow souls And a law carved deeper than stone From the marchers in the streets To the workers on the line We defend what our mothers prayed What our fathers signed

[Pre-Chorus] Every oath, every soldier Every judge on the stand Answers back to the writers Of that living plan

[Chorus] We the people, not a king Every heart, every hand, every hope we sing Red and yellow, black and white All of us are equal in that sacred right Under one Constitution Under one sky above We the people rule America In equal justice, equal love

[Bridge] Raise your hand, not a scepter Raise your voice, not a sword (hey!) When the powerful forget themselves We remind them who they're working for No royal blood, just beating hearts From the mountains to the sea The only crown that matters here Is our shared liberty

[Chorus] We the people, not a king Every heart, every hand, let the freedom ring Red and yellow, black and white All of us are standing in the same clear light Under one Constitution Under one sky above We the people rule America In equal justice, equal love We the people rule America That law of the land we love
