The People are Kings

When you give or protect life
You are a King or Queen
Living by the voice inside
That speaks the truth to your mind
Will lead to liberty.
When you love instead of hate
And give not to receive
When you would offer up your life
So that your neighbor could be free,
You create the kind of country
Our Nation yet could be
Where every home’s a kingdom
And every man is king.

The stakes are laid,
The sword is drawn
Who will stand for liberty?
You must choose the path you’ll take,
One of them is slavery
The power you have is to govern yourself
Governments were made to bring peace
Not to destroy the life you could live
Or bring death, depression, disease.
If you want to make a future
Where your children can be free
You must make your home a kingdom
You must make yourself a king.

The world holds its breath
It trembles at what it sees…
A Nation oppressed
A people unwilling to break
The pattern of history…
And yet could we?

When you give or protect life
You become a King or Queen…
And in a true Republic
The people are Kings
