# NO PRESIDENT OWNS THIS LAND [Intro] This land was here before the man It will be here when he's gone No president owns this country The people carry on [Verse 1] Trump says a word and the whole room shakes Half the country cheers, half fears what it means Another argument tearing families apart Another campaign trying to capture the heart But this country is bigger than one man's name Bigger than a party and bigger than fame The White House is borrowed, the office is brief The people live with the promises and the grief So ask for the facts, make the leaders explain Who benefits from the choices? Who carries the pain? Don't worship a politician, don't fear a debate Don't let your neighbor become somebody to hate A leader can serve us, a leader can fail The public must question the direction and scale The flag doesn't belong to the person in charge It belongs to the people, from the small towns to large [Pre Chorus] The office is temporary The people remain The power is borrowed The duty is plain [Chorus] NO PRESIDENT OWNS THIS LAND! NO PARTY GETS TO CLAIM OUR HANDS! YOU CAN WEAR RED, YOU CAN WEAR BLUE BUT NO ONE GETS TO DECIDE WHO COUNTS AS YOU! QUESTION THE POWER, EXAMINE THE PLAN DEMAND THE TRUTH FROM EVERY WOMAN AND MAN This country is more than a name on a sign NO PRESIDENT OWNS THIS LAND! THE FUTURE IS YOURS AND MINE! [Verse 2] We can talk about Trump, we can question his way We can weigh what he promised against what we see today But don't stop at one name, don't stop at one side Every office deserves questions, every claim must be tried When a policy hurts people, speak up and be heard When a promise gets broken, remember the words When a leader does right, give credit where it's due When the facts show a problem, demand something new Don't let your anger be a leash on your mind Don't let a party make you cruel or blind Your neighbor's not the enemy because they disagree Democracy needs more than people like me It needs honest questions, a free exchange The courage to listen and the courage to change [Pre Chorus] The office is temporary The people remain The power is borrowed The duty is plain [Chorus] NO PRESIDENT OWNS THIS LAND! NO PARTY GETS TO CLAIM OUR HANDS! YOU CAN WEAR RED, YOU CAN WEAR BLUE BUT NO ONE GETS TO DECIDE WHO COUNTS AS YOU! QUESTION THE POWER, EXAMINE THE PLAN DEMAND THE TRUTH FROM EVERY WOMAN AND MAN This country is more than a name on a sign NO PRESIDENT OWNS THIS LAND! THE FUTURE IS YOURS AND MINE! [Bridge] To the Republican who worries about his home To the Democrat who fears where the country may go To the independent asking what is true Your voice still matters, your neighbor does too Don't surrender your judgment to a campaign Don't confuse loyalty with refusing to question The strongest promise we can make as a land Is no one above the people who gave them command [Breakdown] WHO OWNS THE COUNTRY? THE PEOPLE! WHO QUESTIONS POWER? THE PEOPLE! WHO KEEPS THE PROMISE? THE PEOPLE! WHOSE FUTURE IS THIS? OURS! [Final Chorus] NO PRESIDENT OWNS THIS LAND! NO PARTY GETS TO CLAIM OUR HANDS! NO LEADER IS THE COUNTRY ALONE NO FAMILY SHOULD FEAR FOR THE PLACE THEY CALL HOME QUESTION THE POWER, EXAMINE THE PLAN DEMAND THE TRUTH FROM EVERY WOMAN AND MAN We can disagree and still stand in one line NO PRESIDENT OWNS THIS LAND! THE FUTURE IS YOURS AND MINE! [Outro] The office will change The seasons will turn The people stay here And the lessons must burn No president owns this land We the people Still stand
