Spirit

Years of Sweat
And Pride that’s Unrivaled
Many Tears unlet
Strength not to be stifled.

Loyal to Country
Though closer to God
Creator of History
In Paths yet untrod.

Symbol of Bravery
Greatness of Will
Opposing all Slavery
With a Sword made of Steel.

Clear is the Mind
Honest the Heart
True to his bind
To the Land from its Start.

Willing to Die
For all that is Right
All Evil defy
Freedom’s Flame to ignite.

A figure of Freedom
Willing to Serve—
With a Banner, an Emblem
—Others lives to preserve.

This Being of Earth
Is a Warrior of Merit
He’s the symbol of Worth:
The American Spirit.

Happy Birthday, America.
