[Chorus]
Looking at the grave
At the scenery around you
Home of the brave
Sometimes they leave you
Like they found you
Sometimes they worship you
Sometimes they
Tear your houses down
Sometimes they comfort you
Sometimes they
Spread your life around

[Verse]
Nothing you can see
That they
Won't try to give you
Land of the free
Where the legend
Will outlive you
When you earn their trust
When you are truly in danger
Where greed and lust
Have never been a stranger
Home of the brave
That's where
Heroes need protection
Media image slaves
Live by random selection
You sell your heart
But that's not
The price of freedom
Where things are useful
Only when you need them
Where will you go
When you need
To make some changes
Who will you love
In a world
Of constant strangers
I'll go with you
If you want
To take a hero home
I'll stay behind
If you want
To take a hero home

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Home of the brave[x6]

Neil Young is a Canadian singer-songwriter. He is easily recognizably for his distinct tenor voice, making him a near-polar opposite of his Canadian folk contemporary, the baritone Leonard Cohen, although they both share a dense and idiosyncratic sense of lyricism.

Young has released an album almost every year since 1969 with his eponymous debut album and most recently The Visitor, released in 2017. In between, he’s done collaborative albums with Pearl Jam and Crazy Horse (later being dubbed “The Godfather of Grunge”), brought his profound lyricism to the Simon and Garfunkel-esque harmonies of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, who, according to legend, he performed with at Woodstock, and even did autotune way before Kanye.

Young is one of the few people to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, once as himself and once with his psychedelic rock band Buffalo Springfield which he co-founded in 1966 along with Stephen Stills and Richie Furay after illegally emigrating to Los Angeles.
