Oh, great land of the free and home of the brave, please forgive us, for we have sinned A land paid for by the unselfish sacrifice of our young where, from the blood soaked soil, a new nation was born one that grew tall and strong with fruits of freedom and prosperity for all Oh great land of the free and home of the brave forgive us for our inequities for as every good shepherd knows you must tend your flock and every good farmer knows you must cultivate your field we have done neither And from the hills came the wolves as they mingled with and slaughtered the herd And from the grown sprang the weeds they grew fast and tall and strangled the life from the crops As we idly set back and waited for another to act Oh great land of the free and home of the brave we are unworthy of your greatness Were once you were a bright, shinning beacon of light to all that signaled prosperity and freedom and hope to all Now you are a dim, flickering, fading light in the distance Oh great land of the free and home of the brave pleas forgive us for we have sinned against you We beg you for forgiveness and the strength to stand together Black, white, man woman child all united it the spirit of freedom As we put aside out petty differences and breath life into your barren soil Oh great land of the free and home of the brave please take mercy on our souls In this 11th hour as the minutes tick away grant us the courage, serenity and wisdom to bond together Unite as one and once again become the land of the fee and home of the brave. Amen
