If Liberty was a little girl Watching all the flags unfurl Standing at the big parade How would she like us now? We balance the power from hour to hour Giant guns raised It's such a long walk home it's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home From Vietnam to old Beirut If we are searching for the truth Why do we feel that double-edge blade Cutting through our hands? America, America Where have we gone? It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home We balance the power from hour to hour Giant guns raised It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home [extra 6th verse from 1986-09-28, Civic Arena, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA] If Liberty was a little girl Watching all the flags unfurl Standing at the big parade How would she like us now? We balance the power from hour to hour Giant guns raised It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home From Vietnam to old Beirut If we are searching for the truth Why do we feel that double-edge blade Cutting through our hands? America, America Where have we gone? It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home We balance the power from hour to hour Giant guns raised It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home If you see Liberty tell her I will Buy her windows on the hill Water flowers on the sill Till they grow higher and higher America, America Where have we gone? It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home [2025 Chrome Hearts tour variation] If Liberty was a little girl Watching all the flags unfurl Standing at the big parade How would she like us now? America, America Where have we gone? It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home From Canada to old Ukraine We broke our word and left the game Why do we feel that double-edge blade Cutting through our hands? America, America Where have we gone? It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home We balance the power from hour to hour Giant guns raised It's such a long walk home it's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home
