I Give You Liberty

I give you liberty
You give me weapons of mass destruction
I give you the will to be free
You give me your sanctity
.

Was God here?
Did you see?
Did HE pass this way?
Did HE linger?
Did HE stay?
.

Was your God here too?
Did you see them speak?
Did they speak of you and me?
Did they see?
.

I give you the death of a tyrant
You give me smiles in the street
I give you my life in a bowl of alms
You give me food for my mother's charms
.

I died on the streets of Baghdad
The price of freedom paid
The seeds of the future laid
.

You died on the streets of Baghdad
In the name of liberty
In the name of history
.

Was your God here too?
Did you see them speak in Eden?
Did they speak of you and me?
Did they see?
.
