A Wounded Man

I've seen my country, well bought and sold
I've seen the strongest lured by gold
I've been beaten and I've been betrayed
but my love it will never fade

I've been beaten, I've been caned
I've spent my life in chains
my belief's they spur me on
all the pain it will soon be gone
I'm a wounded man

I've seen my friends, well turn and run
I've seen the faithful be over come
I've heard the honest when they are telling lies
but my love it will never die

I've seen the future, I've heard the news
I've seen my trust being used and abused
I wanna change it, rearrange it
I got the strength and I'm gonna face it
