Lyrics for Song: Empire 
Lyrics for Album: Grown Backwards [2004]
  
               
  15090>In national elections
  In songs raised on high
  With stirring emotions
  As tears fill your eyes
 
 
  In democratic fever
  For national defense
  I am a mountain 3X
  Like birds upon a fence 2X
 
 
  Young artists and writers
  Please heed the call
  What's good for business
  Is good for us all
 
 
  And as it is in Nature
  So it is in life
  The weak among us with perish 3X
  The strong alone will survive 2X
 
 
  Voices like thunder
  Decisions like steel
  The past and the future
  They belong to us all
 
 
  From every mountain
  The water and the air
  The world that we've created 3X
  By working hand in hand 2X
