“When in the course of
human events.”
Thus tolls the bell of fervent appeal,
This declaration,
This new beginning,
This fledgling flight from the eagle’s nest.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident.”
That these rights be not taken by trial or ordeal.
That liberty’s grasp is secure and unending
And freedom endures when held to the test.
And if there be violence,
Let there be violence.
We shall not wither though cannons may reel.
For independence is ours for the winning
And we will not settle for second-best.
For they shall not govern without our consent,
Or throttle our fervor or stifle our zeal
Lest we send them whirling, reeling and spinning
With our vigilant vigor that never will rest.
No patience for despots or tyrants or kings
When Liberty, sweet Liberty, opens her wings.
