If you see Liberty tell her I will
Buy her windows on the hill
Laud her flowers on the sill
Till they grow higher and higher

If Liberty was a little girl
Watching all the flags unfurl
Standing at the big parade
How would she like us now
We balance the power, from hour to hour, giants guns raised

It's such a long walk home
It's such a long walk home
It's such a long walk home

From Vietnam to old Beirut
If we are searching for the truth
Why do we feel that double-edged blade
Cutting through our hand

America, America, where have we gone

It's such a long walk home
It's such a long walk home
It's such a long walk home

We balance the power, from hour to hour, giant guns raised

It's such a long walk home
It's such a long walk home
It's such a long walk home
