For Our Freedoms – v2

We remember those who stood up
those who paved the way
for this idea, this hope,
this dream of America
those who were counted
those who died for us

Those who fought for our freedoms
our liberty, from the tyranny of the crown
from those who would seek to destroy us
from divisions from within
that which would separate us
that would tear us down

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
that we rekindle our hope
the ties that bind us.
