1st. vrs:
From the birth of our great nation
It was bright and clear for all to see
Complete acceptance of definite sacrifice
Trusting in freedom, God and liberty
2nd:
With a grand vision of true independence
Refusing to be ruled from foreign shores
At one time our nation once divided
Brother vrs brother on the same land all were born
Chrs:
Many a time our nation sounded the call to arms
Our sisters and brothers proudly filled the ranks
Holding to their hearts the meaning of patriotism
An unwavering pledge of allegiance to our flag
Lead:
3rd:
All joined firmly together to a sacred bond
The Constitution of America, our United States
As our lives get busier we tend to forget
What our forefathers endured to sign that day
4th:
Many battlefields our soldiers bled into foreign clay
Yet still some came home only to be shunned and turned away
This page not quite big enough for lost hero`s all to be named
Or to list the plots of all our unknown soldiers graves
Chrs:
5th:
With hope the day will come, our nations all at peace
But with regret I have doubt due to terrorism at the brink
We do have the reassurance, our troops sacrificing for liberty
All hero`s each and all of them for us to be free
Chrs:
