Here once again, and what do I see?

A realm of endless possibilities for both you and me.

Adversity can leave us at an impasse

Which may elicit in paths,

Leading us to realms otherwise undiscovered

We have our youth and ability

Our strength, knowledge, agility

Now is our time, why sit and wait?

There's no better time, or a better place

We are the future, history is now

Don't be afraid to speak your mind, no matter how

Raise your voice, show them your power

We've no time for walls or any measly tower

In a time of such hate, discord and abandon

What we need is a state of peace to stand in

But it's no use to sit and wait

Don't you see, it's us who are called to liberate

We can all make a difference, you and me,

So why not start now, while we're free?
