From the "Committee of Five" with wisdom, faith, and powerful drive
Came the words and appeals of the New World's ideals
For Freedom's release from the British Crown's disease,
The overbearing, overpowering, over-governing threats to peace.

From Tea-party prattles and bloody New World battles
Came the strong resolve to be finally absolved
Of the grip and the hold of the World of the Olde,
As the New World's Freedom was borne of the bold.

With the Midnight Rider and other insiders
Came the leadership traits that sealed New World fate
Of Independence sublime, recalling the climb
Out of oppression and sorrows of Olde World tea-time.

Fourth to Freedom! Fourth to Freedom!
Independence forever, oppression never;
Fourth to Freedom! Fourth to Freedom!
Mark the day with joyous, thankful fervor!
