“They’ve come to put their name on the line,
Agreement in the writing.
A document is ready to sign,
The road to freedom lighting.
The years will come and quickly go
The times are often changing,
And what we do and think that we know
Could have some rearranging, could have some rearranging.
For when you put your name on the line
A steady hand may quiver.
A message with a perfect design
Is harder to deliver.
A way of life beginning here
A nation we are founding
A day to honor, year after year
With freedom bells resounding,
With freedom bells resounding.”
