Freedom Worth Celebrating
Cannons firing from the left and right
Taking place during America’s fight
A fight for independence
From England’s transcendence
Colonists paid increased taxes to England’s royalty
Causing wide spread disloyalty
The Continental Army and militias took up arms
Consisting of men who worked on farms
The fight was against the British crown
Outnumbered the colonists never backed down
Minutemen took to the street
While the British hoped for an easy defeat
Paul Revere took to the midnight ride.
Upwards of 40 men joined him in stride.
Never did he yell “The British are coming!”
Thinking otherwise may be unbecoming.
Revere never made it to Concord
He was detained by a British horde.
In the end, it was a stunning defeat
One that England did not want to repeat
General Cornwallis surrendered his sword
George Washington returned it to the lord
The Treaty of Paris solidified peace
Allowing the bloodshed to cease.
Fireworks coming from the left and right
Celebrating America’s victorious fight.
Remembering events from the past
Knowing our independence will last.
We are free thanks to them
Putting an end to the mayhem.
