Composer : Tom MacDonald

Shot down and he was barely thirty-one

Another woke coward took a life with a gun

He left behind a wife and a daughter and a son

All he did was try to speak for all of us

And I'm so tired of the hatred and the narratives

The patriots ain't dangerous, woke people are the terrorists

They shot and killed the father, sent a message to Americans

They ain't gonna stop until they bury us

Dear Charlie, I don't know if you can see us now

But if heaven has a window, I sure hope you'rе looking down

Cause we ain't going quiet, wе gon' scream your name loud

And you're gone, but I swear to God that we gon' make you proud

We ain't backing off or giving up, I'll preach what you taught me

They may have killed a soldier, but that man had an army

This is far more deep than some political parties

And you can't kill freedom so this one is for Charlie

This ain't the America that all our parents loved

But good men tried to keep making it great

Pray that God will take care of us, the system is failing us

When good men die for the things that they say

And I can't just be quiet

So I gotta be brave

'Cause this is America, lately it's scaring us

But one good man can change it all in a day

Killed in cold blood for having a discussion

And liberals are celebrating murder like it's justice

You didn't kill a villain or the evil that it comes with

You killed a father and a husband

And I'm so tired of the left and all the wokery

We can't get along if you just kill us when we don't agree

Sniper rifle fire from a liberal that no one sees

Scared I might be next to die when I'm just buying groceries

Charlie, we'll make sure your children know

That defending all our freedom is why you aren't coming home

I hope Heaven has a window you can watch your children grow

And hear your message echo from below

And we ain't backing off or giving up, I'll preach what you taught me

They may have killed a soldier, but that man had an army

This is far more deep than some political parties

And you can't kill freedom so this one is for Charlie

This ain't the America that all our parents loved

But good men tried to keep making it great

Pray that God will take care of us, the system is failing us

When good men die for the things that they say

And I can't just be quiet

So I gotta be brave

Cause this is America, lately it's scaring us

But one good man can change it all in a day
