Allegiance

Lyrics - Therese Covarrubias




Because you can’t see it
Doesn’t mean it’s not there
Open your eyes beyond a red scare
Our people are falling on earth red with blood
And all of our efforts are nipped at the bud

I feel like a fool so blinded by sorrow
While others will wonder if they’ve a tomorrow
As justice is blind and refuses to see
How they all suffer in this land of the free

Because you can’t see it
Doesn’t mean it’s not there
Open your eyes beyond a red scare
Our people are falling on earth red with blood
And all of our efforts are nipped at the bud

Illiterate children they scream in the halls
Liberty and Justice for all
But their justice is blind and refuses to see
How they all suffer in this land of the free

Because you can’t see it
Doesn’t mean it’s not there
Because I pledge allegiance
Doesn’t mean it’s not fair

Because you can’t see it
Doesn’t mean it’s not there
Because they pledge allegiance
Doesn’t mean it’s not fair
