Love and Courage
"Love and Courage"
When the People lacked the gumption to take up arms,
our sons got drafted.
When the People lacked compassion to be our brothers keeper,
taxes were invoked.
When the people wanted to save money at school,
our children's Bible's were removed.
Today Church and State are still separated;
our public schools are still at risk.
Our taxes are being mishandled;
our Congress is putting political agendas first.
With Love and Courage a thing of the past,
today's precious children are being shot and gassed.
If our nation is to survive,
the love of God and Country must come alive.
For our World to ever be free,
Love and Courage must awake in you and me.
The Love of God and the Courage of man
will protect our Holy Land.
