My name is Charlie Charlton
I've lived here all my life
My family number's seven
I have a loving wife
We live out on the border
On the outskirts of town
I'm not sure we'll be here
When tomorrow comes around
My great grandfather came here
In eighteen fifty three
He worked the land and raised the crops
Fought for his liberty
If he were here right now
Just imagine what he'd see
I'm pretty sure he'd stop and say
These words to me
Oh boys hold on tight
All that's wrong now is right
Stand your ground and take up the fight
All we have is all we've been
And here we go round and round again
Such is the world that we live in
That we live in
I never thought the day would come
When I'd see America on the run
And not sure what they're running from
And all that's lost in our schools
When the godless ones attempt to rule
We can only wonder who's the fool
And his voice would say
Oh boys hold on tight
You know everything's gonna be alright
Now as you see the end's in sight
No darkness will hold us down
No empty words will make a sound
We'll be together again
Such is the world that we live in
Oh boys hold on tight
You know everything's gonna be alright
Now as you see the end's in sight
No darkness will hold us down
No empty words will make a sound
We'll be together again
Such is the world that we live in
