We Begin

We stand in crowds
     Of strangers together
     As brothers and sisters,
     As One.

Stand with a leader
     With a dream
     For us all to share
     A dream to make
     Us one nation
     One people
     One Universe

A new face of patriotism
     The flag flies higher
     Her colors shine brighter
Her people stand taller
Smile brighter
With the courage
(Yes, this takes courage)
With the courage
To hope
Once again.

Once again
     To believe in a dream.
