A Common Vision – v4

Together we are stronger

together we strive

to move the dream forward

to more fully live out our creed

our dream for our people

a common vision for our nation

a single vision in our eyes

we yearn for the promised land

a place where all are free

equal in the eyes of God

from sea to shining sea
