THE MAYFLOWER HERITAGE
'Twas from a far off land I came
With roots of pride, fear and shame.
All those who paved the way before
Sailed far across to distant shore.
Pilgrim hearts ablaze with love
Sought their guidance from Above
Un-stifled now, began anew
To build in Spirit and renew the
Freedoms that were once withdrawn.
They toiled and grew, lived and died
To leave a heritage of strength abide.
Yet all the while, a spirit grew and
Waited to emerge anew.
Now the time has circled 'round
What once was lost is to be found.
Our Freedom's won in ages past
to worship God may see it's last
If we give in and fail to right
The same decrees that spurred our might.
So take the banner, once again,
Stand proud with those who had the dream!
Let not us be denied our due
To live, to love and worship True!
