TEXAS TO TODAY

You think about the Alamo
San Antonio, Teas in 1836
Just a little bump in the course of man
 
Who were all those that died
Their families, too, what did they do?
On both sides of the issue
 
It’s like a song you sing and forget
Nothing concerning you, so no regrets
Fight for land takes many lives
 
History reports and sometimes lies
We have the land
What was the cost?
If you’re the winner
How much was lost?
 
All over the world, the struggle for freedom is
Something we cannot ignore
Footnotes in books
Will we forget?
What drove them to our shore?
 
Do we all have a part in moving ahead?
Can we leave it to just a few?
Pay attention and do your part
Or we’ll lose and nothing you can do
 
It may sound simple, but the words have truth
We’re in a parade that is never over
When we’re through with something on our list
It’s replaced by three or four more
 
Stay awake and be alert
There’s an end, but first a start
Think about Teas a long time ago
Be willing to do your part
