Did you hear the voice
Of democracy and freedom
That bellowed in uproar
Over two hundred years ago,
And echoed through history,
Sinking into every heart?
The voice of independence
Inspired the very cowards
Up to arms and into fight
For a new nation.
“Give me liberty
Or give me death!”
Then victory was theirs
At the price of death,
Which benefited the survivors
Who carried on the spirit
Of freedom and democracy
Throughout the world.
