Two hundred and thirty-one years

After we planted Freedom's seed

After our Country's Declaration

This World still has a great need.

Time for the Peoples of all Nations

To learn what we have always known

Since the very first and Proud day

Our Stars and Stripes were flown.

But, we can't force Freedom on them

For if we do, it won't be Real

It's something that must grow on you

To change the way you Think and Feel.

We can only try to show them how

And be an Example they can follow

Stand up against those in our own Ranks

Who try to take Freedom's we know.

We must show we have the Courage

To not let our own people take away

Any of those Rights so Guaranteed

To us, on that long past, July day.

We must Protect our Way of Life

And let the rest of the World see

That it's something to be Proud of

When you live in a Land of the Free.
