My name is Charly Charlton
I lived here all my life
My family nom deSeven, I had a loving wife
I live out on the border
On the outskirts of town
I'm not sure will be here
When tomorrow comes around

My grind grandfather came here in 1853
Worked the land and raised the cross
Fought for his liberty
If he were here right now
Just imagine what he'd see
I'm pretty sure he'd stop and
Say these words to me

Hold boys hold on tight
All is strong and now is right
Stand your ground and take up the fight
All we have is all we've been and
Here we go round and round again
Such is the world that we live in
That we live in

I never thought the day would come when
I see America on the run
And not sure what they're running from
When all is lost in our schools when
The godless wants attempt to rule
We can only wonder who's the fool
His horse was saddled

Hold boys hold on tight
We know everything's gonna be alright
Now as you see the end's in sight
No darkness will hold us down
No empty words will make a sound
We'll be together again
Such is the world that we live in

Hold boys hold on tight
We know everything's gonna be alright
Now as you see the end's in sight
No darkness will hold us down
No empty words will make a sound
We'll be together again
Such is the world that we live in
