they want to sell our land
they want to put up gates
they want to charge admission
for this holy place
can you imagine?
St. Peter flanked
by 300 pound guards
turning away the simple
denying the quaint
in favor of fat cats
with dark appetites
all at once the birds
will cease to sing
the streams will run dry
the death of a dream
no longer places
to stretch our limbs
to fill our hearts
to expand our minds
we can’t let them do it
we can’t let them win
these wild open spaces
are all we have left
