one people - 2


pulling together
our oars in the water
in the vessel together
continuing the work
pulling together
one nation, one people
to fulfill our promise
of life and liberty
none to be left behind
all of us equal
happiness as we choose
that is the promise
pulling together
our oars in the water
one people, one nation
all of us free
