Charlie Kirk Blues

+ Show full styles

(Verse 1) I was born in the heartland, where the prairies meet the sky, With a fire in my soul, and a truth that won’t die. Loved my God up above, with a faith strong and true, My wife and my children, they’re my anchor, my crew. (Chorus) Oh, Charlie Kirk, singin’ the blues, Fightin’ for freedom, with nothin’ to lose. In the halls of the angry, where the shouts never end, I stood with my facts, and I’d do it again. (Verse 2) I walked them college roads, where the crowds would scream and yell, Debatin’ in the fire, where the strident censors dwell. With a table and a sign, I’d call ‘em out to fight, Used facts and steady reason, to cut through the dark of night. (Chorus) Oh, Charlie Kirk, singin’ the blues, Fightin’ for freedom, with nothin’ to lose. Against the mob’s loud roar, I’d stand and never bend, My arguments my shield, till the bitter end. (Verse 3) They called me names like “Nazi,” said I’m hatin’ through and through, But I never held them views, never struck a blow, it’s true. They claimed I’m GOP, just a pawn for their game, But I stood for God and freedom, and I’d do it all the same. (Chorus) Oh, Charlie Kirk, singin’ the blues, Fightin’ for freedom, with nothin’ to lose. In the face of their slander, I’d rise and take my stand, With truth as my weapon, in this troubled land. (Verse 4) I faced the ones who shouted, pushin’ ignorance and strife, Met their rage with reason, tryin’ to spark a better life. No fist I ever raised, no hate within my heart, Just words to wake the sleepers, to give this world a start. (Chorus) Oh, Charlie Kirk, singin’ the blues, Fightin’ for freedom, with nothin’ to lose. In the dust of the struggle, where the truth’s hard to find, I laid down my challenge, said, “Come change my mind.” (Outro) Now I’m gone from this valley, but my voice still rings out clear, For God, my love, and freedom, I fought without no fear. So take your lies and anger, and your chains that bind, Truth’s the only answer—come on, change my mind.
