Independence Day

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 they would protect it if it meant going to war.

Battles have been fought and 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.
