Chorus:
Preparing for liberty, a lot was starting to brew
The colonists opposed what the British tried to do
America was starting to become its own country
Ben Franklin stated that we had the "Seeds of Liberty"
The colonists felt slighted by the taxes that they sent
Like the Stamp Act and the Townshend Act, by the British Parliament
Chorus:
Preparing for liberty, a lot was starting to brew
The colonists opposed what the British tried to do
The colonists boycotted by refusing British goods
They all had signed petitions around their neighborhood
The colonists weren't given any representation
So they formed the first Continental Congress of the new nation
Chorus:
Preparing for liberty, a lot was starting to brew
The colonists opposed what the British tried to do
The Proclamation Act of 1763
Put a stop to settling west of the Appalachian Territory
Minute Men got ready to fight after the Boston Massacre
The colonists also formed a powerful Militia
Chorus:
Preparing for liberty, a lot was starting to brew
The colonists opposed what the British tried to do
Our first battle was fought in the town of Lexington
Between the Colonists called Yankees and the Red Coats from Britain
The American Revolution had now begun
This was the beginning of our fight for freedom
Chorus:
Preparing for liberty, a lot was starting to brew
The colonists opposed what the British tried to do
