freedom for all, happiness for the many – v3


our belief, stated clearly,
written down
our inalienable rights
endowed by the Creator

written into Law
our hope, our prayer
freedom for all,
happiness for the many

for the people of our nation
all of us the same, equal
every race, every tribe
all genders, all peoples

under our Constitution, our laws
endowed by the Creator
freedom for all, truly,
happiness for the many
