[Chorus]
Twelve score and a decade ago
A rugged few against a distant foe
A parchment signed, rebellion sealed
That's when... American patriots took the field
[Verse 1]
Fifty-six men in Philadelphia's hall
Declared Independence, freedom for all
Their words provided a guiding light
Life and Liberty by God's sacred right
[Chorus]
Twelve score and a decade ago
A rugged few against a distant foe
A parchment signed, rebellion sealed
That's when... American patriots took the field
[Verse 2]
They didn't give up at Valley Forge
A cold hard message to old King George
Crossed the Delaware on Christmas Eve
A night to fight, a night to believe
[Chorus]
Twelve score and a decade ago
A rugged few against a distant foe
A parchment signed, rebellion sealed
That's when... American patriots took the field
[Verse 3]
The Stars and Stripes unfurled
Freedom's promise to a hungry world
Each of us created equal
Governed by the will of the people
[Bridge]
Our lives, our fortunes, our sacred honor
A price once paid by our founding fathers
A nation conceived in liberty
Two hundred fifty years of jubilee
[Final Chorus - key change, full band, drum build]
Twelve score and a decade ago
A rugged few against a distant foe
A parchment signed, rebellion sealed
That's when American patriots...
[call and response] Oh, can you see…
That's when American patriots...
[call and response] by the dawn's early light…
That's when American patriots took the field
Two hundred fifty years, that flag still waves.
Because American patriots took the field
