Old friends at the diner, now sit on opposite sides
Where we once shared coffee, now there's a personal divide
They're hauling mayors off in handcuffs, cameras in their face
While Congress stands there trembling, too scared to make their case
I don't recognize this place anymore
The flag I love's not flying like before
Liberty's down, truth's been replaced
God help us all, I don't recognize this place
They're banning books in classrooms, truth they try to hide
Saying who can serve or marry, who gets pushed aside
The judges ain't impartial, the cops ain't keeping peace
And kids grow up believing freedom's just a dream
I don't recognize this place anymore
The flag I love's not flying like before
Liberty's down, truth's been replaced
God help us all, I don't recognize this place
Homemade signs, they're held up high, you can feel the rising tide
Indivisible and 50501, marching side by side
Every protest getting louder, every heart's getting locked in place
We're peaceful but determined, 'cause we're fighting for this place
From small towns to the cities, the word is getting 'round
One voice turns into hundreds when our boots start hittin' the ground
They thought we'd go quiet, that we'd bow our heads in shame
But we're louder now than ever, and we're callin' out their names
This ain't about the left or right, it's wrong against what's right
They pushed us to the edge, now we're rising overnight
They broke their oath, betrayed our trust, and lit this fire with fear
But we remember who we are, and that's why we're standing here
I don't recognize this place anymore
But I see the ones worth fighting for
Liberty's calling, truth's found its space
We're standing strong, we're fighting for this place
We're fighting for this place!
