As we celebrate

Our freedom today

Just take a moment

Remember pathways

Some paths left us proud

Some paths led to shame

But we struggle hard

To hold up a flame

We reach for clear sight

And speak of mistakes

And struggle to find

An end to heartaches

Our flag we will wave

A symbol we share

Just take a moment

To let new hopes flare
