Standing in this crowd
with our neighbors
looking at the faces
fear, yet resolved
Standing for justice
yearning for compassion
loving our neighbors
seeking a better way
To solve the challenges
the choices before us
hope in our future
together, in community
Lifting up our neighbors
those who need us
the State alone able
to meet their urgent needs
Coming together
divergent communities
speaking with one voice
that our neighbors may be free
All of us deserving
dignity, opportunity
to live together
in peace and harmony
None left behind
all deserving
help when they need it
hope for all of us.
