| Independence Day
by Del 'Abe' Jones In the year of 1776 That paper was decreed They were tired of oppression And wanted to be freed. They wrote a Declaration So the whole world would see This was, "The home of the brave And the land of the free." They signed that piece of parchment The leaders of this land Knowing, divided they would fall But, together they could stand. A new world lay before them Untamed from shore to shore They swore the would protect it If it meant going to war. Battles have been fought Many lives have been lost So sad something so basic Has such a high, high cost. 'Seems freedom is a luxury There's some would bind us all Like then, together, we can stand But divided, we will fall. More than two hundred years Have past by since that day That each of us celebrate In our own different way. We should be proud and thankful Pay our share of the cost Not take freedom for granted For it easily could be lost. |
