Before it was still there (ode to the fourth)

Before it was still there (ode to the fourth)

Bloodshed to no end hope lost in the powder smoke

Nature crying in the fog of man’s petty disregard for life

Some looked up why? If the answers were there the whispers was too soft

The enemy tasting the victory

Swaggering their dominance on the insurgents

Out not far from shore held against the freedom

Looking across at a simple pole

Cloth woven with pride and blood and the dare to dream

Many who believed subjects were for schools not for all

A small end of the cloth showed that red white and blue doesn’t give to fear

The fourth was many years ago for this was the second stand

An innocence that others took for granted

While still some think fear and switch still work

Remember for the ones who did what they did so we have our way now

When the stars shine and the candy stripe guides them

Give a small part of your mind we are all this

With these opinions doesn’t mean others are wrong

Bless us all and the ones who really sacrificed and didn’t see how far we have come

Fie works and barbeques and beaches honor the founders

Enjoy the real spirit for they never got to experience this

From a heart of an American bless you all

Before it was still there
