Independence
I In the rich brown earth, a deeper pain conceals
N Not just the myth, of war on foreign fields
D Death's toll and the greater cost reveals
E Each life, each loss, that paves our freedom trail
P Pride reminds us of the sacrifice
E Each mother's tears should not be theirs alone
N Nations rich in history's reward
D Demand that freedom is the final word !
E Every heart must keep the names alive
N Never let the guard down or the pride
C Choose to honor all who fought and died
E Exercising freedom's gifts, which is our Godly right !
