We the people know how fragile freedom can be,

  • No borders or walls divide humanity's heart; what we have in common is more than what sets us apart.
  • What binds us together are moments that speak without a word so our thoughts and our hearts are instantly understood.
  • A child stretches for what is just out of reach; we grasp for understanding that others can teach.
  • There is one ocean that flows from sea to sea . . .
  • one people searching for their destiny.
  • We the people see delight on the face of a child held high . . .
  • . . . and feel joy in watching a new generation come by.
  • We the people suffer solitude that is lonely . . .
  • . . . and find solace in solitude that is calm.
  • We the people watch strangers with a curious glance.
  • but a welcome, in any language, should not be left to chance.
  • We the people see how violence and sorrow can pierce the heart
  • but know answers lie in justice, not in anger that could tear us apart.
  • We the people know how fragile freedom can be,
  • . . .how quickly barriers can constrict our liberty.
  • We the people know that some dance through life with beautiful scenes . . .
  • while others carry burdens and impossible dreams.
  • We the people encounter the vulnerable and the poor . . .
  • . . . how we treat them says so much more.
  • We the people speak out, march and protest
