An original song about our Second Amendment rights.
Story behind the song
Inspired by one of our most important Constitutionally guaranteed rights.
Lyrics
The Right to Bear Arms
Words and music ©2009 Steve Bryant
Verse:
A lot of brave men and women,
Gave their lives so I could write this song.
It’s about freedom, speaking your mind,
The right to bear arms and be strong.
It’s for the right, it’s for the left.
All the people from the cities and farms.
People who make this great country greater.
Keep it free with the right to bear arms.
Chorus:
We have the right to bear arms.
It’s real we don’t have to pretend it.
We have the right to bear arms,
Up to us to defend it.
It might not fit their agenda,
If it’s not part of their plan.
They can take the gun from this mother’s son,
When they pry it from my cold, grey dead hand.
Verse:
The Constitution formed a great union,
Made a place where everyone can belong.
Must have been written pretty damn well,
For us to be around for so long.
The First Amendment gave us the freedom,
To speak and worship just as we choose.
The Second guaranteed the way to stay free.
Something that I pray we don’t lose.
Chorus:
We have the right to bear arms.
It’s real we don’t have to pretend it.
We have the right to bear arms,
Up to us to defend it.
It might not fit their agenda,
If it’s not part of their plan.
They can take the gun from this mother’s son,
When they pry it from my cold, grey dead hand.
(Cryin’ freedom all over the land.)
