carry the light of Christ,
of our freedom, our dream
the dream that is America
down the street
across our nation
out into the world
knock holes in the darkness
that all may see the light;
share the vision
our belief in love
all of us equal
endowed by God;
all of us children
neighbors, as one
knock holes in the darkness
to share the light of Christ
our purpose, our calling
all children together
from the beginning to the
end
to the ends of the earth
