FREE EXPRESSION

the Native Tribe in Standing Rock have stood their ground
good for them
the Veterans of war protected the real settlers of North America
when Bismark complained the pipeline would contaminate the water
some fools decided to mess with people on the reservation
the Natives didn't want their drinking water from the Missouri River 
to be messed with
of course that fell on deaf ears
what little resource they have pushing them to sacred ground
where no white man can tread
Trump better not push that pipe their way
i like the fact that Jackson Browne & Neil Young 
were gonna throw a benefit concert
for the supporters there
the meek shall inherit the earth

there will never be a guitar solo like Eddie Van Halen 
or a Jimmy Page doin dazed & confused
the Spirit of the Lord
leads us to a place if we are true
we become the eagle He set free
sounds like Astbury and Ann Wilson
bleeding into our memories forever
it's a brain freeze that can't be reproduced
staring into her heart i think i see a child
not some old fart Trump that tweets

what do you want to be remembered for?
what's the last thing you want the world to know about you?
Jesus said remember Me take the bread & wine
and do it in faith & truth
put GOD first
honour your parents
love your neighbor like yourself
don't forget the Last Supper Amen
