I may not live to see our glory
(Alexander, there's a letter for you from South Carolina)
But I'll gladly join the fight
(It's from John Laurens, I'll read it later)
(No it's not)
And when our children tell our story
(Will you read it?)
They'll tell the story of tonight

(On tuesday, the twenty seventh, Lieutenant Colonel John Laurens
Was killed in a gunfight againist British troops in South Carolina
These troops had not recieved word from Yorktown that the war was over
He's buried here until he's family can send for his remains
As you may know, Lieutenant Colonel John Laurens was engaged
Recruiting three thousand men for the first all-black millitary regiment
The surviving members of this regiment have been returned to their masters)
Tomorrow there'll be more of us!
(Alexander are you alright?)
(I have so much work to do)
