Poem
How someone like you and me could ever be this forever free Never say never Ever Oh say, can you see this valiant righteous fight of the tiny 13 against the giant gorgeous gallant might of the Royal Crown into that last gleaming fluorescent effortlessly seeming twilight as American soldiers fell and died and their women and Lady Liberty rang the bell and cried screaming and the little ones so sound asleep nestled in their bed so peacefully dreaming whilst their King while their King lay dead Hear his deep voice echo over and over in your head You remember what he said You remember what he said You remember what he said You remember what he said You remember what he said You remember what he said You remember what he said You remember what he said You remember what he said You remember what he said You remember what he said You remember what he said as you lay there missing and yearning teaching and learning freezing and burning and tossing and turning battledrums slow and become tribal Yes, you too, remembers what he said: "It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible" So trumpeters blew and told their story the drumboys rolled out Old Glory My God behold Watch Old Glory so dignified unfold Stars and Stripes thus signified an Independence newfound on Sacred, Sacred, Splendid, Sacred, Holy ground Kneeling at ground Zero Never forget My, your, Our forgotten Hero Ole' Father George pause and take a good look around Ole' Father George steal the stars just this once just in between the glare of royal red rockets and hand them to the mighty 13 and the red stripes so soaked with blood from our beloved Mother across the pond Sons no more, oh no, Mother There isn't any other It’s me now - your new younger brother Just passing through the bright white rays of sunlight into the big bold box of navy blue into starry starry nights Ole' Father George, our hopes ignited Your legs so weary Our dreams excited Thank you, Ole' Father George Thank you, God God Bless These States United
