Commonwealth Justice

[Verse 1]
Out past the broken rail
Where the wheat grows thin
Raiders rode in hard
And kicked our doors again
They took our grain and fire
Left our boots in dust
Mothers held the little ones
And bit down on their trust

[Verse 2]
So we packed the прось? No
So we packed our prayers
Walked a month of miles
With worry in our hair
To the house of state and flags
Where the good men stand
We said, “Sir, save our homes
If you can spare a hand”

[Pre-Chorus]
He heard that trembling plea
Saw the smoke we wore
Then he set his jaw
And pointed to the door

[Chorus]
Commonwealth, stand tall
Send the thunder down
Break that raider line
Put them in the ground
For the old farm walls
For the hungry child
Commonwealth, stand tall
Let justice ride awhile

[Verse 3]
He called his best men in
With iron in their tread
No stolen laugh would stay
No bully go unfed
They crossed those empty roads
At morning’s hard first light
And every settler’s heart
Started beating right

[Verse 4]
When the raiders saw the dust
On the ridge out west
They learned a simple truth
That strength will answer stress
The poor got back their roofs
Their seeds, their bones, their land
And every freed-up fence
Bore the mark of that command

[Pre-Chorus]
He heard that trembling plea
Saw the smoke we wore
Then he set his jaw
And pointed to the door

[Chorus]
Commonwealth, stand tall
Send the thunder down
Break that raider line
Put them in the ground
For the old farm walls
For the hungry child
Commonwealth, stand tall
Let justice ride awhile

[Bridge]
There’s a price for fear
There’s a line you don’t cross
And the ones who prey on the weak
Get found out and lost
But hope comes back
When a leader takes his stand
And the broken town starts breathing
Like a field laid wide with land

[Final Chorus]
Commonwealth, stand tall
Send the thunder down
Break that raider line
Put them in the ground
For the old farm walls
For the hungry child
Commonwealth, stand tall
Let justice ride awhile
