"Back To Me" - The Color And Sound

This is a song I wrote about America. I try not to get too political with my writing since I'm not nearly punk enough to pull it off how I'd really want to so this is a rare subject for me. I hope you enjoy it and I hope it makes you think.

Lyrics:
This is who we are
This is what we did
Every great nation casts a shadow
As big as it is

There once lived a man
Who bore the weight
Of millions and millions
Of warring souls in his top hat
Men who fought and died
To protect their way of life
And also to change it

This is who we are
This is what we did
Every great nation casts a shadow
As big as it is
This is who we are
This is what we did
With our freedom

There once lived a man
Who bore the weight
Of millions and millions
Of weary souls in his mustache
He had a dream
That those who thrashed and writhed
Would protect their way of life
And also change it

This is who we are
This is what we did
Every great nation casts a shadow
As big as it is
This is who we are
This is what we did
With our freedom

There once lived a man
Who bore the weight
Of every willing
And unwilling soul in existence
Those in joy and in strife
From any given way of life
So that they might taste it
Bittersweet and penitent
Freedom

We're living in the dreams
Of those who died
So we could taste freedom
In our lives
This is who we are
This is who we are
And when we're gone
Will our prosperity
Be honored or ashamed?
'Cause they will see
This is what we did
This is how we lived
While living in the dreams
Of those who died
So we could taste freedom
In our lives

This is who we are
This is what we did
With our freedom
