an echo, growing
hearing voices joining
finding a union, a voice;
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 unity of purpose
a cord stronger
in the trials to come;
calling us ever
all of us equal
all of us free
