Verse 1:
we stood up tall for one and all
with all out might we'll stay and fight
for what we see as a guarantee
to plant our seed, to grow our creed
Verse 2:
It might take long, must stay strong
must be wise, we'll win the prize
we might be poor, but still we soar
way up high, we'll reach the sky
Verse 3:
they'll try to create, reasons to hate
to find the way, to make afraid
to point out fault, and make us halt
our cause for good & brotherhood
Verse 4:
they'll set the stage of hate and rage
they'll drive a wedge of fear and dread
to dig and claw, to keep us raw
we stay positive, and give and live
to separate
to infiltrate
to make us hate
understimate
to complicate
and fabricate
put up a gate
and irritate
to puncuate?
