1776

(Verse 1) In Congress, on that sacred day, The echoes of bold voices sway, From tyranny's grip, they broke away, And paved the road to freedom's way. "We hold these truths," the parchment spoke, In words that stirred, in hearts awoke, All men are equal, chains they broke, To forge a land where liberty spoke. (Chorus) Oh, from the halls where dreams took flight, On July fourth, in the purest light, They dared to rise, to claim their right, To life, to liberty, in freedom's might. (Verse 2) Governments formed by people's choice, When justice reigns, they find their voice, But when oppression drowns the noise, It's time to rise, to make a choice. Long sufferance marked their weary way, Yet still they stood, come what may, Against the tide, they dared to sway, And build a nation from the fray. (Chorus) Oh, from the halls where dreams took flight, On July fourth, in the purest light, They dared to rise, to claim their right, To life, to liberty, in freedom's might. (Bridge) With lives and fortunes on the line, They pledged it all, their spirits shine, Each signature, a sacred sign, For freedom's cause, they drew the line. (Verse 3) From North to South, they turned the tide, In freedom's name, they unified. States united, a banner bold, To shape their destiny, to behold, A land of dreams, a story told, In history's book forever known. (Chorus) Oh, from the halls where dreams took flight, On July fourth, in the purest light, They dared to rise, to claim their right, To life, to liberty, in freedom's might. (Patriotic Outro) With divine providence, their cause they entrust, In the pursuit of liberty, in God they trust.
