We The People (A Ballad)

Take a trip with me, my friend

States near and far away

Where people seek their quiet lives

To live and work and play.


This is where the freedom reigns

Where things we say and do

Can shape the future of our land

Or keep the status quo.


We’ll come together as a group

Of citizens concerned

And band together with our wit

Before the flag is burned.


When first they wrote those years ago

That letter to the King,

They didn’t know ahead of time

The threat to freedom’s ring.


A turning point arises now

Democracy at stake

Our liberty must be restored

It’s time to rise awake.
