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
Were 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
