The Land



The land of the brave,
The land of the free,
The land of people looking for an equal opportunity,
We are not there yet,
We need to improve,
But if we join together,
There will be everything to prove,
If we want to make change,
We have to do our best,
It takes all of us,
We cannot rest,
Now there is just one thing to do,
Treat others the way you want them to treat you
