History's Voice
 

The fate of the United States of America was decided ....
....When the signing of the Declaration gave birth to a
new nation and a new breed of people...
Our founding fathers knew if our nation was to survive
Future generations would have to hold the course, and
heed history's voice,

and be willing.........
to sacrifice no less then they, those who's prayers, blood,
sweat, and tears paved the American way.

Americans have hungered that people on the other
side of the world might be fed. But in our hunger hope
is not dead.

We are a many blooded people who over the years,
somewhere in the blood and tears, have learned
to value the differences among us, and to treasure what
some have left behind as lessons to help us through
When we take a wrong turn, as we have been
known to do, beneath the colors of red, white, and blue.

Through the history they left behind ,we are often reminded
that for as long as we hold high the torch that made us free,
and hold to high idea of life, liberty, and justice for all,
our offspring will be born free, and they will die free .. under
Liberty's Tree.

Americans have every right to stand a little taller
than those countries who sent us their throw- a- ways:
individuals, and families in search of the American dream. ,
those deemed unfit by rulers and kings.

Because the United States of America did what
peoples own birth lands would not do for them.
We opened our arms, in their time of need- and
under Lady Liberty's shining light, welcomed a many
blooded, and a many creed people in.

Americans are the only nation of people in the world
who's bloodline represents every nation in the world

The fate of the United States of America was decided
When the signing of the Declaration gave birth to a
new nation and a new breed of people.............

Our founding fathers knew if our nation was to survive
Future generations would have to hold the course, and
heed history's voice,

and be willing.........
to sacrifice no less then they, those who's prayers, blood,
sweat, and tears paved the American way.

The United States of America will hold to the course,
[of life, liberty and justice for all]

We will remember , in silent revere , our American history
All those who lived, and all who died to keep the
United States of America free.
