Show Yourself Lyrics - Jefferson Starship

When I was small I used to stand 

With my hand on my heart 

And I would sing to you 

You were my son and my lover 

My father and my brother 

I beleived in you 

It was so easy then 

It was so easy then 

But where are you now 

It seems like you can't hear me anymore 

Maybe you're just getting too old 

But do you remember 

201 years ago 

When you were young 

How strong you had become 

Promising every one you sweet gift of freedom, 

Now you know exactly who I am 

I seem to tell you all the time 

Now tell me some kind of truth about yourself 

Your life should be as opena s mine 

There are children dying for you 

That doesn't sound like freedom to me 

You keep lyin' about why they're dyin' 

When they should be concieved in liberty 

Show yourself 

Show yourself to me 

You're the one that told me 

Remember 

You told me I was born to be free 

Open all your doors I want to see 

All your doors and your keys 

I want to see I want to hear you 

All 88 keys yeah 

Oh give it to me 

Show yourself 

Show yourself to me 

I want to see tha stars and the stripes 

That can make those things scream
