For Our Freedoms

for this idea,
this dream of America
we remember those who stood up
those who were counted
those who died for us

for our freedoms
our liberties
from the tyranny of the crown
from those who would seek to destroy us
from the divisions from within

for these and for so much more
we stop and share a prayer
that we would strive to live out
the dream we all hold dear
