Some of our youth have been misled into thinking that the system under which we live is outdated. It should be changed by those outside of our country who think that they know best what is good for us.
Will the youth of our country hesitate in defending truth and right,
While an enemy attacks us will they run and avoid the fight.
While they know the powers of the enemy seek to destroy the work their fathers had begun.
Shall the children of our country refuse to fight and turn to run.
Will they fight for their own freedom, will they lean towards the truth.
Will they watch and act with courage with the fervent passion of youth.
Will they do their best to be found worthy of the nation we all adore
With the faithful ones together honoring our nations lore.
True to the freedom that their parents have cherished,
True to the freedom for which loved ones have perished.
To their countries command, soul, heart and hand,
Faithful and true I believe our youth WILL forever stand.
Adapted from the ideals of Evan Stephens 1854-1930
