A special message of Freedom

On the day of our Freedom.

From the ever watchful Lady Liberty

the living spirit of America.

J am the living spirit of America,

A messenger of Freedom to Nations,

The preserver of Liberty within our frontiers

And beyond the seven oceans.

Enabling nations to revel in freedom’s glade,

For dignity, fraternity and sovereignty we crusade.

For the weak, the meak and the down-trodden,

For the heavily shackled and the forgotten.

Lest, they be drowned by the sheer weight

Of turmoil’s and struggles great.

Let us hail them and bail them out

Together in strength and harmony. O! Free Nation.

Let us resolve together and to-day,

To help salvage those in pursuit of “Me”

The living spirit of America

The true spirit of Liberty.

For Liberty’s sake, for ‘our sake,

And for God’s sake.
