I was trying to finish this poem when I suddenly realized I didn't need to finish it. I want you to finish it. Anyone who cried, write a verse.

With the dawning of the day

When all the old is passed away

When Freedom came of age -

I cried.

When the sorrow of our shame

Was consumed in freedom's flames

And Justice slipped its rusted chains -

I cried.

When the whisper became a roar

Hate and fear were shown the door

And freedom rang from shore to shore -

I cried.

Traded the hangin' tree

For the tree of Liberty

Thank God Almighty, we're free -

And I cried.
