What it Takes

To create a better world, the world we desire,
to make the world anew;
we must take action, we must be bold, and inspire
to see our vision through.

We must speak and stand for what is right,
with purpose in our hands,
we must rise before the enemy, we must fight,
wherever we may stand.

Not through violence but by instilling calm,
though the road is long;
we claim victory when we sing a new psalm,
answering hate with song.

The dream in our hearts is our guiding star,
let no one stand alone.
A vision of grace, the world where we are,
reaching lives unlike our own.

We must dream, but let’s not stop at mere thought,
we cannot wait for change to start;
Through action encased in love, let all be taught,
within the human heart.
