What do you cling to when you cling?
What stirs you up and makes you sing?
Did the Liberty Bell make freedom ring?
What do you cling to, when you cling?

What do you fight for when you fight?
What gets you in your dreams at night?
Did someone come to steal your rights?
What do you fight for when you fight?

What do you do when reason fails?
What takes the wind out of your sails?
Did your blood run cold, did you turn pale?
What do you do when reason fails?

What do you hold dear to your heart?
With what ideal will you not part?
Did you end the quest before its start?
What do you hold dear to your heart?

What do you do to stem the tide?
What do you take to be your guide?
Did you stumble upon your prickly pride?
What do you do to stem the tide?

What is the path that will lead to love?
What turns embrace into a shove?
Did you think that god was just above?
What is the path that will lead to love?

What do you do when the mob attacks?
What do you say to malicious hacks?
Did you put the prisoners on the racks?
What do you do when the mob attacks?

What is this game of lose and win?
What is the cost to kith and kin?
Did they take your life and cry of sin?
What is this game of lose and win?

What do you cling to when you cling?
What stirs you up and makes you sing?
Did the Liberty Bell make freedom ring?
What do you cling to, when you cling?
