There’s something lost where has it been
It made us this one great nation
With freedom of conversation.
Demosthenes spoke by the sea
While heroes like Marc Antony
Defended Caesar’s legacy !
There’s Thomas Paine and Nathan Hale
Great men whose words would never fail
While immigrants rough seas would sail.
They came for freedom their first choice
With speech that they might freely voice
And values that none could coerce.
How sad they’d be to see us now
Our children mute they can’t learn how
This government will not allow !
