The Founders declared "Independence"
In a moment of heav'nly Transcendence.
Pledged their Lives and their Honor
Knowing they might be Goners.
On behalf of their Sons and Descendants.
They captured the Popular Sentiment
In a rebellious Action most Provident
They hastened Delivery
Of our Lives and our Liberty
By declaring "these Truths are self-evident"
So today raise a Glass and remember
Those Giants of steadfast Timbre
As that cracked Bell tolls
They live on in our Souls
Through the dark, Freedom glows like an Ember
