A Dream was Fostered

Born in that crucible
resolute, strong
standing against adversity
a Declaration was signed
a dream was fostered
borning a nation
hope in one another
in liberty for all

Watched over by Creator
loving us all
hope in a future
a dream that continues still
the dream we stand for in this time
the dream of this great land
our home, America
for thee we stand

Resolute from attacks
from foreign lands or within
seeking the better nature
peace from sea to sea
hope together fostered
one nation, a people
a country, a city
shining on the hill
