"How is it being used?"

The lyrics to the song would be laudatory in nature and the Song would be for sale for profit.

If it’s for profit then you may have a problem. One of the tests of fair use is the nature of the use. Generally this means it should be for an educational purpose although there have been some exceptions for things like satire. I thought this was one of the Jim’s problems because although the site is free he supports it through donations which could be construed as a non mandatory “fee” from users.
