Freedom



I'm not really a flag waving patriot that goes around ringing bells, warning the British that the British are coming, and firing warning shots like Paul Revere (allegedly), but I do still believe in the ultimate ideal of America- that "all men (and women) are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."  That's what the song 'Freedom" ultimately means to me- a tribute to the ongoing struggle that America can live up to that ideal.  So on the anniversary of America's independence, give that song a listen and get a little history lesson to boot.  This song is from the US version of Strong and is one of the better songs in my opinion.
