Lady America

from Unbound by Marina Evans

lyrics

Lady America, tripping on your gown
Been running long enough now, it's time to settle down
When you were young you moved oh so free
Now loosen up lady, and dance with history

'Cause youth it don't last long
And we're just hanging on
You gotta keep your grip on what endures
You won't slip oh that's for sure
Brace yourself, honey: it's on

Is it liberty when all the time
Your face and your footsteps are tapped like your phone line?
Is it freedom oh, or is it greed
When the sailor has to sell his ship because the suits bought up the sea?

'Cause youth it don't last long
And we're just hanging on
You gotta keep your grip on what endures
You won't slip oh that's for sure
Brace yourself, honey: it's on...

Your shoulders
Oh bear it now, bear it like you know how
You gotta trust, not take over
Let us lead you now, lead you now to earn that crown

'Cause youth it don't last long
And we're just hanging on
You gotta keep your grip on what endures
You won't slip oh that's for sure
Brace yourself, honey: it's on...
