Under God Is Given a Nation's Birth

From the greenest acres of laden wood The painted asphalt of a future's path In breathless moments of events withstood Upon the virtue of Jehovah's wrath Founded a nation in united task Brought forth the torrent souls of righteous gain The restless embodied from shackle's drain Grasped upon the mountains of western earth Spoke forth the sound of Man's forsaken name Under God is given a nation's birth. . Evils carried from past down times of old As the horse pulled coach acquires new ground The loot of war traded for food and gold Twenty souls to work for free in Jamestown Honored men and women of darkened brown Though freedoms hide in masks of truths bestowed A new age ends the era, quid-pro-quo As pennies now define a man his worth A right tiptoes in by D' Angelo Under God is given a nation's birth. . Prosperity of a nation divides The father's musket lays his son to rest Here within, rises the Jekyll and Hyde As the babe has bitten the mother's breast It is what pleases you that we detest Sounds off the blood of the servitude man We shall fight you now if even by hand No more are we twopence halfpennyworth We all are God's image since time began Under God is given a nation's birth. . In wondrous acres of built city wood Ushering in an equal common good Where all men glimmer the strength of the earth Judged not by color or value or worth The dawn brings light of a life understood Under God is given a nation's birth.
