terry ross altman - anthem lyrics

Loading...

we were raised on money and cars
broken promises and hollywood stars
dollar signs held our dreams, we were told
we couldn’t ”but” it, so away with the old

we were lookin’ for love and justice
the anthem of our generation
we were lookin’ for truth and peace
diving into every new sensation

we wanted reasons so they gave us more rules
and taught us questions without answers in schools
they preached on morals with a scotch in their hand
and tax-cheatin’ politicians running the land

we wouldn’t listen to jesus ’cause we’d heard it all before
they used his name to sell us things and march us off to war
we didn’t know that the things we hated he hated more than we
and that there is no other name by which men can be free

and he died for you and he died for me . .

i know a man — he talked of love and then did just as he said
i know a man — he taught of justice and then he paid the price
do you really believe what you say you do?
then how can you turn from the love of the one who died
to get through to you?

i know a man — he said, “i am the way, the truth, and the life”
i know a man — he gave me peace . .
if you search for the real truth with an open mind
you still must choose to follow the truth you find
oh, don’t be blind
to the things you’ve done that are wrong
and jesus christ sang his song to forgive you

we were lookin’ for love and justice
but look what’s happened to woodstock nation
selfish hedonists out to get high
and smileless activists living a lie
it makes me cry — can’t you just try?

hurt and scared so we learned how to run
gave up on happiness lookin’ for fun
hollow laughter fro the clown who cried, “sold!”
just like our parents — hypocritical, cold

he came to bring us true love and justice
he sings the anthem of regeneration
his words are truth and his life brings peace
so won’t you answer to his invitation?

i’ve joined the army that’s at his command
marching, singing, going hand in hand
love and truth are conquering hate
come on and join us now before it’s too late . .
