Follow That Dream
It was the year seventeen hundred and seventy -six
As the fate of a nation stood in the hands of fifty -six
Here in this great room and new nation would be born
These fifty six men would make not only history but sign the beliefs this country stands on
Where all have the rights to liberty, freedom and equality
Rights that would be handed down to their families through posterity
Freedom they had traveled from their homes to come across the sea
And now it was theirs forever more.
Though the that word at times got pushed back a bit
Yet never gone from our hearts where the glow is always lit
Men like Abraham, Martin and John kept us focused on our rights and freedoms carried on
In a field in Gettysburg ,Mr. Lincoln promised with these words.... this nation by the people and For the people would not parish from the earth.
Martin the man with a dream stated.... I believe that truth and unconditional love will have the Final word in reality
John the young man who captured the hearts of all those of the time his enthusiasm and Confidence gave a breath of life back to the country
He stated the cost of freedom is always high but Americans have always paid it and the one path
We will never surrender
That tiny ripple of hope that started from across the sea
That need to follow that dream that took them to this new country
To those who dared to look beyond the horizon and follow their dream
You gave your children, your children's children not just a dream
You made them part of history
