Over 230 years passed
our ancestors arose,
they demanded freedom
their brethren became foes.
A bloody struggle ensued
and brave men fought a war,
upon victory the American
nation was born.
And oh what a place
the like noone had seen,
where the founding ideal
was that all men yearn to be free.
No king was installed
to rule over the masses,
We, the People would elect
the governing class.
Great men of foresight
and vision and wisdom,
created the Constitution
Guarantor of our freedom.
Our leaders do not lead
by divine right or royal decree,
but by the will of the People
in the name of liberty.
For more than 23 decades
our great nation has flourished,
though the tree of liberty has
taken much blood to stay nourished.
We've never been perfect
we have our share of stains,
but our national conscience
sets things right again.
Know that freedom is fleeting
yet more precious than gold,
its preservation having claimed
so many brave souls.
We must not take it for granted
we must awake from our apathy,
we cannot allow liberty to evaporate
because of our lethargy.
Awake! Awake! Awake!
Awake from your slumber!
WE are America!
We have the numbers!
This is our nation
and this is our freedom,
don't give it away
hold tight to your freedom.
Once surrendered of freewill
it will be hard to reclaim,
so hold on to it fast
it must be sustained.
