America
Founding fathers,
History made,
For this great country,
Foundation laid,
Great and small.
Freedom blessed,
Battles were fought,
Death, no less,
Brave men fell,
That we could be,
A mighty nation,
Peacful and free.
But we the people,
Silent be,
Heed no cry,
Although we see,
A great land torn,
Filled with hate,
God grant to us,
If not too late,
A blessing to heal,
The wounds we see,
And be once again,
America free.
