The Vision

And the warriors went off to battle
Leaving tearful loved ones behind
They went off in answer to a vision
Which the wise men planted in their minds
That all men have been created equal
Meant to share all that life has to give
And the right to do as he pleases
To be free as long as he lives

They had lived an empty dream
And in death they would be freed

So they died for what they believed in
Leaving unfulfilled dreams behind
And those deaths have often been repeated
For the vision will endure all time
