hearing voices joining
an echo, growing
finding a union
a convergence, flowing
a unity of purpose
for our people, our nation
coming together
divergent interests
bound by our creed
shared hopes of our people
a common goal, a vision
the many threads together
a cord stronger
in the trials to come
a unity of purpose
calling us ever
all of us equal
all of us free
