THE LIGHT OF FREEDOM (words and music composed by Daniel Abbott/Songer)

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

In the dawn of a new land, where dreams take flight,

A leader arose, guided by heavenly light.

George Washington stood, with courage so bold,

Against the mightiest army, a story unfolds.

With faith in the heavens, he charted the course,

Through valleys of struggle, he drew on divine force.

His vision was clear, for a nation of gain,

To free every soul from the shackles of pain.

[Chorus]

Oh, the light of freedom, shining bright,

A beacon of hope in the dark of the night,

With God's hand guiding us, we rise and we stand,

A nation united, free in this land.

[Verse 2]

Through battles and hardships, he weathered the storm,

With valor that kindled, a spirit reborn.

From the fields of Virginia to the shores of New York,

His courage ignited, a country's proud lark.

With every small victory, the heart of a land,

Where opportunity flourished, united we stand.

From the prayers of the faithful to the cry of the free,

A legacy born, an unwavering decree.

[Chorus]

Oh, the light of freedom, shining bright,

A beacon of hope in the dark of the night,

With God's hand guiding us, we rise and we stand,

A nation united, free in this land.

[Bridge]

With wisdom and strength, he forged a new path,

Leading with honor, unyielding in wrath.

A nation emerging from shadow and strife,

With faith as our armor, and courage as life.

We sing of his triumph, of the battles he won,

For every lost dream, a new day begun.

From the mountains and valleys, let freedom resound,

With God on our side, true peace will be found.

[Chorus]

Oh, the light of freedom, shining bright,

A beacon of hope in the dark of the night,

With God's hand guiding us, we rise and we stand,

A nation united, free in this land.

[Outro]

So let us remember, with hearts full of pride,

The faith of our leader, our nation’s great guide.

In the tapestry woven, with threads of the brave,

May we hold high the light for all the world to save.

Oh, the spirit of freedom, let it never fade,

For in this land of opportunity, our dreams are made.
