Lyrics
Our Mother of Liberty ©2023 Creative InRoads, LLC
A nation does not exist without its people
The people will not be a nation without trust
Trust comes when we recognize
We have so much in common
Our Mother, her name is Liberty
I was cussing about politics in the gin mill today
When the ghost of old George Washington
He came a walking up my way
Well, he put his arms around me
Said, Brother oh I have to agree
And this is what he shared with me
I am the history of this young land
I built a new world with courage
And my bare hands
I fought for freedom
I fought for love
I fought for the glory
And the goodness from above
And mister you're a part of me
Let me tell you we were both born
From the mother, our Mother
Of Freedom and Liberty
I was cussing about taxes in the gin mill today
When the ghost of old Ben Franklin
He came a walking up my way
Well, he put his arms around me
Said, Brother I have to agree
And this is what he shared with me
I'm the engineer, the farmer
Coal miner, truck driver
I'm the working man and soldier
Carrying the load with my bare hands
I work for the future, I work for my children
For a nation without strife
And mister let me tell you
Your every part of me
And you know why
Because we were both born
From the mother, our Mother of Liberty
Freedom and Liberty
I was cussing about the president in the gin mill today
When ghost of old Abe Lincoln
He came a walking up my way
Well, he put his arms around me
Said, Brother I agree
And this is what he shared with me
From the day we declared independence
Or abolished the enslavement of humankind
We became the history of all nations
The first hope of this land and every kind
Yes I have waged battles
But only where injustice had prevailed
I fought for peace and freedom
Only when all else had failed
And brother listen to me
We are the same
Because we come
From the Mother of Liberty
Oh, Freedom and Liberty
Our good Mother of Liberty
Freedom and Liberty
