"CHARLIE" lyrics
Shot down and he was barely thirty-one
Another woke coward took a life with a gun
He left behind a wife and a daughter and a son
All he did was try to speak for all of us
And I'm so tired of the hatred and the narratives
The patriots ain't dangerous, woke people are the terrorists
They shot and killed the father, sent a message to Americans
They ain't gonna stop until they bury us
Dear Charlie, I don't know if you can see us now
But if Heaven has a window, I sure hope you're looking down
'Cause we ain't going quiet, we gon' scream your name loud
And you're gone, but I swear to God that we gon' make you proud
We ain't backing off or giving up, I'll preach what you taught me
They may have killed a soldier, but that man had an army
This is far more deep than some political parties
And you can't kill freedom so this one is for Charlie
This ain't the America that all our parents loved
But good men tried to keep making it great
Pray that God will take care of us, the system is failing us
When good men die for the things that they say
And I can't just be quiet
So I gotta be brave
'Cause this is America, lately it's scaring us
But one good man can change it all in a day
Killed in cold blood for having a discussion
And liberals are celebrating murder like it's justice
You didn't kill a villain or the evil that it comes with
You killed a father and a husband
And I'm so tired of the left and all the wokery
We can't get along if you just kill us when we don't agree
Sniper rifle fire from a liberal that no one sees
Scared I might be next to die when I'm just buying groceries
Charlie, we'll make sure your children know
That defending all our freedom is why you aren't coming home
I hope Heaven has a window you can watch your children grow
And hear your message echo from below
And we ain't backing off or giving up, I'll preach what you taught me
They may have killed a soldier, but that man had an army
This is far more deep than some political parties
And you can't kill freedom so this one is for Charlie
This ain't the America that all our parents loved
But good men tried to keep making it great
Pray that God will take care of us, the system is failing us
When good men die for the things that they say
And I can't just be quiet
So I gotta be brave
'Cause this is America, lately it's scaring us
But one good man can change it all in a day
Another woke coward took a life with a gun
He left behind a wife and a daughter and a son
All he did was try to speak for all of us
And I'm so tired of the hatred and the narratives
The patriots ain't dangerous, woke people are the terrorists
They shot and killed the father, sent a message to Americans
They ain't gonna stop until they bury us
Dear Charlie, I don't know if you can see us now
But if Heaven has a window, I sure hope you're looking down
'Cause we ain't going quiet, we gon' scream your name loud
And you're gone, but I swear to God that we gon' make you proud
We ain't backing off or giving up, I'll preach what you taught me
