A MIGHTY ROPE

Let’s all braid the strings together
Until we've made a rope
It will be strong, and last as long
As we don’t give up hope

There’s no such thing, as a frail string
When the sturdy reinforce the weak
The ones that are bad, that fray, and snap
Are blind to the technique

The way to go, combine, and grow
Is with a mighty rope

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Watch out for the nimble fingers
Going for the knot
Keep your distance from the blades
And fires that burn too hot
We’ll surround them while they’re idle
Bind them as they sleep
Strangle out their noxious power
Promises they didn't keep
There’s always hope
With a mighty rope
~~*~~

For every strand that stands alone
Praying justice will be won
We’ll weave them in, as worthy kin
Be sovereign when we’re done
Constrict the foul arms of deceit
Summon up the cause for hope
"We the people”, of this Nation
Are a mighty rope

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
Compatriots are all around
We can’t win if we remain unbound
We must strike like the stone of David
Pull Goliath to the ground
Good men wait for the right to take
The power from our foe
“We the people” of this Nation
Are a mighty rope
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Watch out for the nimble fingers
Going for the knot
Keep your distance from the blades
And fires that burn too hot
We’ll surround them while they’re idle
Bind them as they sleep
Strangle out their noxious power
Promises they didn't keep
There’s always hope
With a mighty rope
~~*~~
