If it takes them so long

So long to say yes

Why don't they just say no? 

They don't need anyone to be put to the test

Why don't they let us go



Livin? for the right to belivin? for the right

Livin? for the right to belivin? for the right

Livin? for the right to be free



We needed a planwe needed defenses

We couldn't raise a smile

As the world looked onthey raided our senses

There can be no reconcile



Burning downburning downburning downburning down



There was a time before life was taken for granted

‘will never come again

Our flower is deadthe seed is unplanted

They put it all to flame



Burning downburning downburning downburning down



Livin? for the right to belivin? for the right

Livin? for the right to belivin? for the right

Livin? for the right to be free

Livin? for the right to belivin? for the right

Livin? for the right to belivin? for the right

Livin? for the right to be free



Burning downburning downburning downburning down
