On The Shoulders Of Our Fathers ~ This Is Where Heroes Rise

​(Lyrics from "Worth the Fight" by Christian artist Kim Walker-Smith)"This is gonna take an army. We the people. We the dreamers. We will not be divided. We're one nation. We remember. Only truth can break through darkness. Only hope can save a soul. On the shoulders of our Fathers. We meet the night with a roar"
                       
"Wake up, eyes up. Now is the moment, now is the time. One chance, one voice. No backing down, this is where heroes rise. Push back the shadows. Take back tomorrow. This is for freedom. Stand up, stand up, for what is right. The future is worth the fight."
                       
Our nation was founded and built on the shoulders of our forefathers. They refused to passively and silently accept England's tyranny. If we were to be a free and independent nation, they must fight—and fight they did. Our forefathers banded together to fight against tyranny and create a Republic founded on freedom. They worked tirelessly to draw-up our Constitution and Bill of Rights, the cornerstone of our government.
 
Generation after generation has shed blood in the battle for freedom, whether within our  borders or defending other countries. Freedom was the call. Freedom of religion. Freedom of speech. Freedom of the press. Freedom of assembly. Freedom of life! Our nation was also built on God's Word, one Nation Under God. These freedoms are now under attack.
 
For the first time in my life, I honestly fear our nation's future. Wrong has become right, and right has become wrong. Lies, deception, and hate run rampant. Bible believing, God fearing, Americans have been labeled bigots. The sanctity of life no longer applies to  unborn, or newly born children; they are helpless, innocent victims whose voices will never be heard  
 
We are one election away from the death-grip of Socialism. So many promises—free this, free that, everyone will be happy—until they're not. Nothing is free. We will pay the price. (Just Google Venezuela to see the effects of Socialism)

Our freedom, taken for granted by most, has come at a great price. Thousands upon thousands of brave men and women fought, and sacrificed their lives to ensure our freedom. These men and women are our heroes! The time has come when we as Americans have to wake up and remember. It's time we, the silent majority, be courageous enough to stand up and declare, "We the people, we will not be divided. We're one nation! We remember!" It is time we honor those who sacrificed their lives, so that we can be free. It is time we become heroes.
                       
A war is raging within our borders. A campaign that, if left unchecked, will lead to the destruction of all we as Americans hold dear. Freedom will be a mystery deleted from our books of history. Life as we know it will cease to exist. Everything our forefathers fought for will be for naught. The sacrifices of our men and women in the military will be worthless. Evil will win. We will no longer be one nation under God—God and believers will be outcast. Conservative Christians are a roadblock to the plans of those attempting to control our country.
 
The time has come for heroes to arise. The time has come for the silent majority to find their voice. This battle will take an army to win. We are that army! "Now is the moment. Now is the time. One chance, one voice! No backing down. This is where heroes rise. Push back the shadows. Take back tomorrow. This is for freedom. Stand up! Stand up, for what is right. The future is worth the fight."
 
Our nation was founded on the blood, sweat, tears, and prayers of our ancestors: Ancestors who stood courageously for what was right. Our country stands today because of those who continue the valiant fight for freedom. Our nation's sovereignty, however, is under attack. "We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12. We must fight!
 
When I say that we must fight, I am not referring to rioting. We, as Christians, the silent majority, must take a stand. We must stand on our faith and commitment to the One True God. We must gather together in prayer. We must find our voices and stand together for our nation, for our freedom, for what is right, for our God. "Old Glory can be made new. This is the moment for breakthrough. Believe in the dream again."
 
(Lyrics continued) "Laying down our lives for others. Soldier sisters. Band of brothers. We're no longer called the silent. We fight for justice. For our children. Only truth can break through darkness. Only hope can save a soul. On the shoulders of our Fathers. We meet the night with a roar. Wake up, eyes up. Now is the moment, now is the time. One chance, one voice. No backing down, this is where heroes rise.
 
"Push back the shadows. Take back tomorrow. This is for freedom. Stand up, stand up, for what is right. The future is worth the fight. Believe in the dream again. Believe in what could be again.
 
"Old Glory can be made new. This is the moment for breakthrough. Believe in the dream again. Believe in what could be again. Old Glory can be made new. This is the moment for breakthrough.
 
"Take back tomorrow. This is for freedom. Stand up, stand up. For what is right. The future is worth the fight."
               
How can you or I make a difference? How can we make our voices heard? One word. Vote. We, as Americans, are blessed to have the right to vote. Many people in other countries don't have this right. Government is thrust upon them. Sadly, all too many Americans don't vote, they are not allowing their voices to be heard. They passively stand by, accepting whatever happens, or grumbling in vain. We, the silent majority, are vital to our nation. Our voices matter. The time has come to speak up. The time has come to rise as heroes.
 
"We're no longer called the silent. We fight for justice. For our children. Only truth can break through darkness. Only hope can save a soul. On the shoulders of our Fathers. We meet the night with a roar. Wake up, eyes up. Now is the moment, now is the time. One chance, one voice. No backing down, this is where heroes rise."

Believe in the dream again.
