We stand with pride to freedom’s drum,
Resolved in faith for hope’s new day;
We tread the streets where truths become
A guiding light along our way.
Some voices whisper soft and pure,
Some blaze with zeal and holy fire;
They rise to guard what shall endure,
And press toward heaven’s high desire.
In hidden tomes and sculpted stone,
God’s name on earth and stars proclaim;
Though critics mock with tongues undone,
Our faith outshines all fleeting aim.
Let doubters rage—let tempests roar,
Their scorn will only fuel our flame.
Hearts unbound shall rise once more,
Unfettered praise, unmarked by shame.
Drumbeats of Faith
