Today, we are known as the land of the free, and home of the brave,
We are a country of ourselves, ruled by ourselves and for ourselves,
We stand tall and proud through the annals of history,
And will forever be the world's envy,
As we continually define our own,
We walk down the aisles of the world,
In prestigious strides of intelligence and strength,
Setting the pace as we go,
And defining the blueprint and landmarks as we grow,
We flip through the pages of events,
Making history in every incident,
Beating our chest as the world's insight,
To a better and brighter plight,
But may we never forget,
The lives and courage of those untrained traders and farmers,
Who took the battle to the enemies's face,
Risking their lives with courageous inexperience as they set the pace,
For a free, brave and proud nation,
May we never forget,
The blood that gushed out of that black farmers chest as the enemies bullet went through him,
For that blood help secure our freedom...
