Sighed American Freedom

It started many years ago
the quest for freedom all aglow.
The founders of this nations pride
The melting pot for freedom"sighed."

"united we stand-divided we fall",
seems to be a problem after all.
Marches for freedom as they tried.
The melting pot for freedom"sighed."

Prayers are band from schools today.
That's our freedom taken away.
Oh, the tears so many cried.
The melting pot for freedom"sighed"

Commandments on the courthouse wall, 
an upright way for one and all.
They took it down forever to hide.
The melting pot for freedom "sighed."

Distant sounds of four fathers cry.
This whole countries gone array.
The freedom held dear, true and tried.
The melting pot for freedom"sighed."
