Free Born 2
Adventurers and discoverers are driven
to scale the heights we've never known
Their DNA is coded to descend the depths
of places we've neither seen nor gone
"THE summer night is still and sweet
WITH flowers on every tree
PEACE comes to them on quiet feet"..
Like wounded warriors happy to be home and free
What if Explorers never tried to show and tell
It's best that some things we shall never know
But what if Freedom's Quest had grown stale
Endurance is a power seed that makes us grow
What if The Colonists had never prevailed
Mortals keep resisting until they are let go
What if there never was a Liberty Bell
Rivers fight and push until they find their flow
What if The Mayflower had never set sailed
We all face obstacles we never encountered before
What if Plymouth's long and dangerous volage had failed
Righteousness demands that walls must fall like Jericho
