The Lie

Lyrics

**Verse 1**
In the heart of Ludowici, where the pines whisper low,
Through the seventies and eighties, where the sweet rivers flow,
We gathered ‘round the fire, with a truck and a cold beer,
No color in our laughter, just the friendship sincere.
We fished in the Altamaha, cast our lines in the sun,
No labels to divide us, just the joy of the run.

**Chorus**
So tell me, where’s the hatred? Where’s the line in the sand?
With brothers and sisters, together we stand.
Oh, the liars on the screen, they’re painting us gray,
But in this southern heart, we’re united today.

**Verse 2**
They preach about the struggle, and they talk about the fight,
But I grew up with voices, all colors in the night.
We shared our stories freely, our dreams intertwined,
But the news said, “Look closer, there’s division to find.”
Yet I look in my rearview, and I see the truth clear,
Love was the language, and there’s nothing to fear.

**Chorus**
So tell me, where’s the hatred? Where’s the line in the sand?
With brothers and sisters, together we stand.
Oh, the liars on the screen, they’re painting us gray,
But in this southern heart, we’re united today.

**Bridge**
Now they spin their tales, calling us the divide,
Lying politicians, with their empty pride.
They want us to believe there’s a war in our midst,
But it’s love that binds us, not the hate they insist.
So lift up your voices, let them echo and ring,
Together we’re stronger, united we sing.

**Verse 3**
So here’s to the fighters, the ones who know the truth,
To the laughter and the love, and the beauty of our youth.
Let them try to control us, let them try to create,
But we’ll stand as one people, we’ll never hesitate.
From the pines of Georgia to the stars up above,
We’ll show the world together, it’s the power of love.

**Chorus**
So tell me, where’s the hatred? Where’s the line in the sand?
With brothers and sisters, together we stand.
Oh, the liars on the screen, they’re painting us gray,
But in this southern heart, we’re united today.

**Outro**
So let’s break down the barriers, let’s shatter the lies,
In this beautiful South, where the true spirit lies.
No room for division, no room for despair,
In Ludowici’s spirit, we’ll always be fair.
Together we’ll rise, together we’ll fight,
In this tapestry of life, every shade is a light.
