Firebrands of Freedom

Signed in ink,

but chains remained Promises made,

freedom stained Land of the brave,

home of the free Only for

some, not meant for me

What does it mean in this

modern day? Ideals echo but fade

away

Truth behind the Fourth,

the words they wrote Declaration's shadow

still casts a note Independence claimed,

but who really won?

Relevant today,

the fight's not done

History's pages tell a different tale

Equality's dream still up for sale

Voices rise up against the old

refrain Change the story,

break the chain

Truth behind the Fourth,

the words they wrote Declaration's shadow

still casts a note Independence claimed,

but who really won?

Relevant today,

the fight's not done

The truth remains,

the battle goes on
