Daddy<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I want to talk with you<\/strong><\/span>
\n I’ve wished I knew you longer<\/strong><\/span>
\n Memories are faint<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 more precious than none<\/strong><\/span>
\n Enshrouded by timeless mists<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ’til now<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Suddenly<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 the legacy is clear<\/strong><\/span>
\n You knew the thirst<\/strong><\/span>
\n for White Man’s Knowledge<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 must be quenched<\/strong><\/span>
\n I’ve wanted nothing more<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 to know<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Writing<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 links my soul to Life<\/strong><\/span>
\n Your soul speaks still<\/strong><\/span>
\n Words calling forth<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 in silence<\/strong><\/span>
\n Link your soul forever<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 to my life<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Freedom<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 OUR Heritage from Earth<\/strong><\/span>
\n We’d learned to live so well<\/strong><\/span>
\n amidst God’s vast creations<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 then White Man came<\/strong><\/span>
\n evil invaded – riding their ships<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 of plague<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Knowledge<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 rode in bold evidence<\/strong><\/span>
\n In many awesome ways<\/strong><\/span>
\n Your fathers saw the future<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Red and White to merge<\/strong><\/span>
\n But first the challenge to<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 survive<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

God<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 tests with White Man’s evil<\/strong><\/span>
\n to forge the best<\/strong><\/span>
\n Rewards by adding to us<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 knowledge<\/strong><\/span>
\n We had to learn to <\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 fly<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 not to make men slave<\/strong><\/span>
\n Had to learn the rocket<\/strong><\/span>
\n to pass from Eart<\/strong>h<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 on painted wings<\/strong><\/span>
\n But White Man knows not<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Freedom<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

My<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 creations must come forth<\/strong><\/span>
\n Symphonies of Freedom with<\/strong><\/span>
\n the orchestra Mankind<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 None will make the ships<\/strong><\/span>
\n if none could CHOOSE<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 to fly<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Daddy<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 thanks for knowing<\/strong><\/span>
\n His Wondrous Knowledge<\/strong><\/span>
\n Our Way of Freedom<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 must meld<\/strong><\/span>
\n If Mankind is Meant to Live…<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
