Recited this at Lake Eola, in Orlando, twenty-five years ago the Fourth and also recorded and was played on PBS Radio.WOW!25 years!! INDEPENDENCE DAY In the year of 1776 That paper was decreed - They were tired of oppression And wanted to be freed . They wrote a Declaration So the whole world would see This was, "the home of the brave And the land of the free". They signed that piece of parchment The leaders of this land Knowing, divided they would fall But, together they could stand. A new world lay before them Untamed from shore to shore - They swore the would protect it If it meant going to war. Battles have been fought And many lives have been lost - So sad something so basic Has such a high, high cost. Seems freedom is a luxury There's some would bind us all - Like then, together, we can stand But divided, we will fall. Del "Abe" Jones |
