Whose Side Are You On

(album: Steel Witness - 1996)

Sneaking down the alley at the end of the block
They come to a door and give the secret knock
The door opens quietly and they all hurry inside
Well it's 2001 the year of our Lord owning a Bible is against the law
And if you want to praise Jesus you've got to find a place to hide

Just a few true believers in the middle of the night
Reading the Bible by candle light
They kneel down in prayer as the sirens are starting to wail
They come and break down the door but nobody runs
The police hurry in with night sticks and guns
They put them in handcuffs and take them all off to jail

You say this is America we ain't got nothing to fear
But if something don't change you're gonna see it happen here
Land of the free home of the brave you'd better wake up before it's too late
Get ready to rumble put all of God's armor on
It won't happen in Washington it's got to be us
You know them politicians ain't got the guts
To stand up for Jesus when the battle lines are drawn
Whose side are you on

It's getting late but the battle ain't lost
He's raising an army at the foot of the cross
With the weapon of prayer and the everlasting power of love
It's time to take off the gloves change all the rules
Take back our streets and take back our schools
(Hey Satan) take your hands off America the beautiful

Don't worry about the darkness for we are the children of light
And we can still win the battle but it's gonna be a whale of a fight
Land of the free home of the brave you better wake up before its too late
Get ready to rumble put all of God's armor on
We're killing our babies before they are born
Stand up and be counted come and sound the alarm
Are you one of God's children or nothing but the devil's pawn
Whose side are you on whose side are you on
