We hold these truths to be self-evident
That all men are created equal
They’re endowed by their Creator with certain rights
Not taken from them, unalienable

Chorus
Declaration of Independence
Written for our defense
Document that makes good sense
Declaration of Independence

The writers of the Declaration...

British soldiers were sent to control them...
