There is a lot of history and a little of you
Living off the glory your ancestors lived through
You need to go out and live your life for you.
Patriotic pride from an historical stride,
a war that was won before you were alive
the struggles for freedom
the heroes who died
born into freedom
you didn’t decide
History owes nothing but the offer of wisdom
live for tomorrow, you are not a victim.
