King George Lyrics

In times of old there was a king who
Had his way
And we were told the ways in which
We were to pray
A freer land was a dream across the sea
So we set sail in pursuit of our beliefs

We the people longed to know
A place where faith could grow
Everyone could take a stand
That's why we fought to build this land

King George - so glad we got away
King George - the tyrant's in his grave
But King George - is your shadow here today

The tide has turned, a different wave
Upon this shore Now we're so free, but tell me what's
Our freedom for
If we say His name, if our message
Gets too strong
The radio will never play this song

The right is there to make a choice
We all can speak with our own voice
We can say - but we don't dare
And all our schools don't have a prayer

King George - we thought we got away
King George - are you laughing in your grave
King George - it hasn't really changed
King George - is your shadow here to stay
