The Revolution came Inevitable at last They were carving out a future From resentment of the past. The cause was justified For reasons good and true Noble men died for it As they hoped their sons would do. The wars continued on For freedom and release Funny, is it not The price some will pay for peace? Their courage conquered moun tains Bold fervor ran so deep But today that spirit is rarer The mountains quite often too steep. Yet it needn't be this way Perhaps we can look back And recapture a bit of that spirit That now we seem to lack. War may not be the answer Nor wrong is refusing to fight But neither is shame to give the life For a cause one feels is right. To save America, men met death Husbands, fathers and brothers They trusted it was not in vaing They fought for the freedom of others. A spirit like that is awesome One to remember with pride Although it may not succeed lt's fulfilled for having tried. Now we're celebrating A birthday for our land Two-hundred years of freedom With the people in command Consider it for yourself And contemplate the ways Our forefathers decisions Affect us still today. Many mistakes were made Some things done in haste Corruption and betrayal Pettiness and waste. Their battles need not be use- less Do justice we can to the cost When we set out the struggle to win Remember when they lost. And more important, the reasons why Lessons we all must know So America will remain the Beautiful And under God, continue to grow. - Helen Mary Topper Opening G
