Verse 1
Abraham---
Is gonna kill 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]
