Show Yourself - 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 

Show yourself 
show yourself to me 
expose yourself I wanna see your face 
come on give it to me 
show yourself

I wanna see come on and show yourself
