Change Atlas

By BUBBA

The years have gone by and by With wars where young men just die We lived through the greatest of them all With changes come and we stood tall The Revolutionary War we thought was bad The King of England was truly mad The red coats marched over here But we sent them running far and clear With that day where we raised that flag We were proud to be as we held our bloody rags We sent old Ben to proclaim our pride He came back to us with a different stride We declared our independence for all to hear Made the world know we were meant to be feared The world was not the enemy For our own brothers would definitely see A man was born in Illinois his name we would call Honest Abe would free us all The Civil War came with anger filled Brother would fight brothers and then be killed The North would prove the rights of a man Was not configured on color of his hand And so we free’d all those slaves But the fight wasn't over its still going on today When will the fight finally end Where we can be brothers and finally be friends The healing is coming in the mass Cause a black man was elected president atlas And so we look onto this world were in Where there are more temptations and even more sins But We know of our history we know of our past We must push this forward and do it fast For the peace we seek will be far and between For the anger of the world is more than we've seen We need to grasp to our friends For we are coming to an end Change is inevitable for us all We will choose our path lets not stall Pick the right road for us to go Love and laughter is good you know
