In a world where darkness reigns

can the light in our hearts still remain?

When the shadows in our past hold us back

can we still cross the line, shed our old shell

try to accept then overcome what we lack?

Can we open our hearts eyes and see

the future that was meant to be?

The future that seemed so far for you and me.

The future that was locked away though now we found the key.

With the belief, we have in our bonds that will unify humanity.

Brothers and Sisters, we all share a bond.

Black, white, rich, poor it matters none.

If we all hold out our hands and recognize each other’s strengths,

look towards the lights and cross new lengths.

Strengthening our humanity in the hope that will never end.
