Foundations in the past, while reaching for the stars
Dream about tomorrow, but don’t neglect the scars
The past isn’t lost, it’s a map through this weather
Will we travel the same road, or somehow grow together?
Patience, virtue, acceptance, with unending grit
As we fight for a world of peace, no sign of quit
. . .
The sun will shine through, even in the darkest hour
Faith gives us hope, love gives us power
To welcome without question, arms widespread
Forward to tomorrow, remembering where all have tread
Forgiveness without strings, but memories still to mend
Heritage, pride, community — all that never ends
