“All for One”
words & music: Kevin Chalfant & Chuck Giacinto
So tell me who will be the next to carry the torch
To ride in on a pure white horse
To wave the flag, to lead the way
To keep the promise of a bright new day
Chorus:
The dream is still alive inside our souls
Protecting the Freedom, we answer the call
Standing strong together, ‘though alone we may fall
Sacrificing All for One…and One for All
S
[…] Look, if nothing else on the world will motivate you to vote for the Democrats, do it so we don’t have to hear this over and over and over again. […]
“…pure white horse.”
That sure starts the old “inclusive” antennae quivering.
Look out, Lee Greenwood!
—That sure starts the old “inclusive” antennae quivering.
This guy tried to rhyme torch and horse—I wouldn’t go to far with deconstructing the imagery.
So what do you think the odds are that this guy, or anybody he knows, is over in Afghanistan or went to Iraq. They’re always ready for somebody else to “answer the call” or “sacrifice”…
C’mon, everyone can see that “pure white horse” is a heroin reference and the whole song is about shooting up.
Amazing. Comments that bash a song based on the printed lyrics because they express a different opinion. Wow, 90% of the songs ever written would not stand up to that kind of sarcastic scrutiny. A song and music, with any point of view, can be really good musically. I actually listened to it. As a musician and producer it’s clear Kevin still has the pipes, delivers a strong performance to a really well produced track. Agree or disagree with the message, but don’t trash it just out of political bias. The harshest critics are usually those who have never performed wriiten or produced successfully.
[…] Hysterical […]

Yeah, Kevin’s entitled to his opinion that “torch” and “horse” rhyme. It’s a free country.
“don’t trash it just out of political bias.”
Speaking for myself, I will not trash it out of political bias. I will trash it because it is terrible. The music is forgettable. And the lyrics…sheesh. Kevin should be tried at the Hague for his torture of those metaphors.
And it isn’t even that original. To wit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4difPEQ8wA4&feature=player_embedded

Dude. The song is crap.
It’s what you get when you cross “Winds of Change” with “America We Stand as One”
“Don’t trash this shit sandwich out of political bias!”
How dare you meanie-heads criticize a song?! Don’t you know that you should never say anything that’s not nice?
===The music is forgettable.
Unfortunately, very unfortunately, not true.
It actually sounds like you could include “The Fatherland” anywhere in these lyrics and it would be the perfect fascist anthem.
Just my opinion of course.
