[Verse 1]
Can't wipe the wind-blown smile from across my face
It's just the old man in me
Washing his truck at the Sinclair station
In the land of the free

[Verse 2]
And his mother Adeline's family came on a ship
Cut coal and planted a seed
Down in them drift mines of Pennsylvania
In the land of the free

[Chorus 1]
(Land of the free, land of the free)
In the land of the free
(Land of the free, land of the free)
(Land of the free, land of the free)
In the land of the free

[Verse 3]
When I go out in my car, I don't think twice
But if you're the wrong color skin
You grow up looking over both your shoulders
In the land of the free

[Verse 4]
And how many killings must one man watch in his home
'Til he sees the price on the tag?
Eight measured minutes and 46 seconds
Another boy in the bag, another stain on the flag
[Chorus 2]
(Land of the free, land of the free)
In the land of the free
(Land of the free, land of the free)
Move on, there's nothing to see
(Land of the free, land of the free)
In the land of the free

[Bridge]
Father in heaven, hear our plea
Father in heaven, help us see
How to lose our hatred and find your favor
How to break these cycles and change our nature
That we may walk underneath your banner
In the land of the free

[Outro]
(Land of the free, land of the free)
In the land of the free
(Land of the free, land of the free)
There's room for you and for me
(Land of the free, land of the free)
In the land of the free
