Ujima

There's a Union in coming together as one kin,
Holding one another and lifting each other up
Helping each other and continuing to care within,
Remembering to show love, and hate will never build-up

I have the responsibility to be there when you need me
And you having the same thing too
Being an example and letting the younger ones see
What a beautiful and kind heart should do

As We share our struggles hoping for a good ending
Having a shoulder to cry on is what we all need
I give you hug, as my love for you is extending
Our bond is strong and healthy indeed

We may fail, but we also can succeeed
But we accept what we did wrong
Remembering to never do the same deed
Then We succeed again and sing our happy song

Let's work together in continuing to make our culture and community great
By leading and showing others the good we can do
We all have power in us in which we should all relate
Our culture is one of God's greatest gift to you
