Day of Freedom
Day of Freedom
It wasn't easy on that July day
For those men to stand up
And have a say
It was an opportunity they didn't miss
To stand up and stand out
Though their lives were at risk
What must have gone through their minds
On that hot July day
They knew it was here, they knew it was time
Oppressed under tyranny, they were through
Adams, Jefferson, Franklin,
To mention a few
They protected others by taking a stand
Not just their own lives
But also their land
What a valuable lesson they have taught us
To live by conviction
Then fight we must
Our battles may differ none the less
Physical, spiritual, mental,
Yet what we do is the great test
The courage shown through
Their hope made bright
Their strength renewed
To fight for the colors of red, white and blue
Yes, it will take courage
But we are called to live for truth
We are free today because of brave souls
Whose stories indeed,
Will forever be told
