I'm writing you a letter, not just ink on a page
I'm the voice of a nation, from a bygone age
For centuries I've stood, liberty's steadfast guard
From the fields of battle to your own backyard
Oh, patriots, where have you gone?
I'm the Constitution, but I'm feeling so alone
The enemies at the gates, they hate the freedom I've sown
Patriots, rise up, it's time to come home
I've weathered the storms, fought slavery's end
Gave women the vote, on me, you can depend
But now I lay troubled, worried, and worn
My principles shattered, my pages torn
Oh, patriots, where have you gone?
I'm the Constitution, but I'm feeling so alone
From civil rights battles to the freedoms you've known
Patriots, rise up, it's time to come home
I've seen the spirit of those who penned me
In the heart of every American, brave and free
But divisions and factions tear us apart
Oh, patriots, it's time for a brand-new start
The 60s rang with a cry for equality
Segregation and hate met their final plea
Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights paved the way
Oh, America, let's find that spirit today
Oh, patriots, where have you gone?
I'm the Constitution, in you, I'm reborn
The enemy's the same, be they foreign or homegrown
Patriots, rise up, it's time to come home
(Outro)
So here's my plea, my call to action
For unity, for a single nation
I'm not broken, just a bit forlorn
Patriots, my patriots, it's time to come home
