Restitution
by
John William McGrath III
When we bow down to You it raises us up
And we realize who we are
We are one with you and drink from the cup
We come from the central Star
This country we live in was planned by You
Each one his/her own sovereign
Oppressive taxes, restrictions led to a coup
Every one had something to gain
They've taken your name out of the schools
They're trying to take it from our money
They have been removing freedom's tools
And joke about it in public, it's not funny
We love You, our country and constitution
We are not going to stand for this
Some one will have to make restitution
And replace that which we now miss
