We The People, Not a King

WE the People, Rule our Country!!

[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 is the land we love
