A friend of mine said I should try to write something celebrating the USA 250 years Anniversary.
I thought that seems like a daunting task .But then he said Woody Guthrie style or Denny Carleton style ..
So I listened to a recital of the Declaration Of Independence .
And some of the very first lines caught my attention .
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—
I prayed and the thought cam In my mind try to write it ,to create unity and focus it about hope .
Nothing rhymed with happiness.
So the song became Pursuit of Happiness Life Liberty
Song is available for download on most digital platforms

Lyrics
Pursuit of happiness, life liberty Been endowed to us
From sea to sea
Let's be brave enough
To keep it free
Pursuit of happiness life liberty
A seed was planted
Bloomed a tree
Some branches grew
Some messy
Is it you or is it just me
I hope for what I don't see
There was a time that I recall
someone wrote upon a wall
Summer changes into Fall
After winter hear springs call
Pursuit of happiness, life liberty Been endowed to us
From sea to sea
Let's be brave enough
To keep it free
Pursuit of happiness life liberty
A perfect union
I haven't found
In sky mainstream underground
If you listen close
You'll hear the sound
A new song is coming round
An eagle needs two wings to fly
But Both wings have to try
If your only asking why
You'll never reach the sky
Pursuit of happiness, life liberty Been endowed to us
From sea to sea
Let's be brave enough to keep it free
Pursuit of happiness life liberty
Pursuit Of Happiness Life Liberty
