We Came Together

We came from different ways of life and different ways we all did think,
only to come together and put a constitution in rules on ink.
We voiced out what we hated from the old land and what we wanted none of,
for really we hoped that through all our doubts we could come he in love.
So there we sat in a room to house us all,
to argue and fight until one will would fall.
We exclaimed how we wanted to be one but have the right think for our selves,
not to be pampered and given money then put on endless shelves.
We spoke of equality and the rights every man should have and hold,
for it was not only for the strong and bold.
We fought about slavery and how we need it to survive,
but in the end we knew that freedom was the only way man would be alive.
In the halls we gathered in small groups to come up with the rest,
and then in the big room we tried to make it our best.
The first one to write on it was Handcock a pirate and a patriot of us all,
and to him we bellied up to the bar and made our call.
Many men spoke those days when we made our Constitutional right,
and generations after have given their lives in this one documented fight.
