Lyrics
Independence
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We hold these truths to be self evident
That all men are created equal
That they are endowed by their Creator with certain rights
That among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
That to secure these rights
Governments are instituted among men
Deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed
That whenever any form of government
Becomes destructive of these ends
It is the right of the people to alter or abolish it
