Verse 1 Is gonna k** his son I told him to And he would have done But you ain't God And I ain't Abraham No child of mine Is gonna die On the order of a man CHORUS No child of mine No child of mine I will sacrifice No child of mine It's too high price To pay for Nothin' but a ribbon To hang upon my door Verse 2 Fly that flag Like its yours alone One of them stars Is where I make my home Loisianna You can paint it red But my heart is blue Then repeat what I said [Chorus] Verse 3 I've seen courage I've seen dying I've seen righteousness And I'll hold the line I know the difference And I'll take the time To teach that difference To every child of mine [Chorus]
