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
