Let Freedom Ring!

For knowing that I have a place

as I wake to a new day,

For the right to speak my mind,

or kneel quietly to pray.

For the dreams I strive to reach

for the love I'm free to give,

For the laughter shared with dearest friends,

a necessity to live.

For the security and peace of mind

that all is safe and sound,

For growing, sharing, hoping, caring

there's goodness all around.

For all this we're grateful for

whisper soft or loudly sing,

Their duty and their sacrifice

Have let our freedom ring.
