How far We've come

From the celestial dawn onward Hate of difference, hate of others. Ignorance gives way to ignorance Love gives way to love What then? A mutation, a kink in the chain, Catalyzes hope, the fiery spirit of man. A millennia of hate gives way to a future of unity. A new dawn approaches The Great Melting Pot fires up freely, A man's dream becomes a nation's reality. Hope births a new unity, Hate gives way to Love. Many moons pass As we look upon our grizzly past Of fallen soldiers in a nameless war. In the name of equality they fought! Oh so valiantly they battled against oppression Today We remember. Today we gaze into the tyranny of the past. All to see how far We've come
