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.
