America’s Bicentennial from 1776 – 1976
Tracing back to America’s roots having history Oh what a fit
I will highlight only a little bit
But you will get the foundation of American history being the tip
The America Freedom Train that travelled across the country
The train had a people mover, and artifacts that appeared as one would move
History a waits, there was enriched history to prove
I witnessed the whole accord personally at Belmont Race Track in New York
It was history during the signing of the Declaration of independence
Every elected official observed at Independence Hall
All eyes carefully saw
America became the American people’s promise
The creed, “We the People for the People”
Truly history was made
Words formed into a constitution
Yet statewide establishing into an institution
Abraham Lincoln’s speech at Gettysburg
It was a time of the Civil War
It was a long battle for sure
Soldiers died and fatigue, but in order to win, the soldiers had to proceed
Abraham Lincoln’s speech within the ashes of a dimmed sunshine
Cannons having admonition smoke all combined
Words into tomorrow, but an emptiness full of sorrow
Yet Abraham Lincoln’s discerning words with leverage
But standing in solitude was a privilege
Battle cries having eyes
But inspiration from Heaven that keeps us all wise
An Icon became known to America’s roads
The name, Greyhound Bus Lines with Headlight blink and the stretched out Greyhound Dog to all in behold
A company started in 1914
Greyhound started as a car and continued in technological advances that took it into a future of their ride
The company was also took part in the Freedom Riders
Greyhound was the first motor coach company to install Restrooms aboard
Well Greyhound is still traveling coast to coast from West to East
The company continues to bloom
The American Freedom Train
There is much to remember and to look back
The American Freedom Train had the right track
Salute and applaud
Yet the accomplishments were strives made possible through our Lord.
