lyrics

v1:
I pledge allegiance to what's true and what's right
Not to the biggest dog in the fight
Not to the men who started the war
Unless they can tell us what we're fighting for
So I pledge allegiance to what's true and what's right
And that's how I sleep at night

v2:
I pledge allegiance to kindness & grace
Not to the ones who try to keep us afraid
Not to the men (& women) who would sell out their souls
All for the gain of power & gold
So I pledge allegiance to kindness & grace
That's enough to get me through most of my days

br:
So don't get me wrong, I'm not tryin' to make waves
But I don't see many leaders worthy of praise
I sure like it here, but I feel lucky, not proud
If you don't like the music, you can just change the sound

v3:
They say that in Christ, there's no Gentile, no Jew
I reckon that means there's no me, there's no you
We should all join together and focus on us
Call it a giant rehearsal for love
If we love our borders, that's some pretty tough news
But what else are we to do?

v4:
I pledge allegiance to no flag nor land
That's just something I don't understand
I've met good & bad people all over this earth
I can't just love the ones who share the same dirt
So I pledge allegiance to no flag nor land
And I hope you'll understand
