On the Road to Independence. . .

They saw the need

For liberation

A need that led

To a united nation

Thirteen colonies
Desiring to be free
Joined together
To fight for liberty

Taxes, taxes, taxes
Duties on this and that
Tempers roaring, soaring
Resulted in combat

Without this fight
A nation would not be
Remembering those
Who fought for liberty

Were it not for them
Who lived and died
 A nation would not be
Joyful with pride

Destined a nation
Not to be destitute

A stalwart nation

Arose firm and resolute
