Heads Above the Water

Thomas Jefferson:

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

HEAD ABOVE THE WATER

Sailing along with the wind taking us away

Returning on a current at the end of each day

Trusting our boat is sturdy, stern to stem

Before our bow is where we are heading

Aft is where we have been

Should sleezy, lying traitors fight their way aboard

And impose their aspirations upon our crew

Our surrender we can all Ill-afford

Saving our ship means only our resistance will do

We cannot let the flame in our lanterns flicker then die

Allowing perpetrators to take our grand ship

Eternal vigilance from the sailors, with a keen eye

Would have stopped the scheming traitors from intruding on our trip

If our ship is our country should we treasure her less?

Than sailors did the compilation of wood and sails

Why shouldn't we resist the traitors in our midst?

Will we watch them burn the constitution, let our country fail?
