Lyrics
Things have changed on the streets where we live.
People somehow seem closer now
It?s hard find a reason why
When innocent people die
We watch them risk their lives for us
We see our people in pain
But we cannot lose our faith and trust
We cannot live like we?re afraid
So stand tall
Cause we can offer up our hands in friendship and compassion
We are strong in our ideals, we?re a nation with a vision.
We will lifts our voices to the challenge of the ages
We will stand upon the mountain and show we are courageous
We will push beyond the boundaries of our past written pages.
We will stand with our heads held high and our hearts open
For peace and freedom
My country tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty
of thee I sing, of thee I sing
Land wheremy fathers died, land of the pilgrim?s pride
from every mountainside let freedom ring let freedom ring
