Imagine a Country where everyone is respected
Where human rights are basic rights
A place where citizens work together
Interconnected and interdependent, like a family.
Imagine a Nation whose greatest asset is diversity
Where equal opportunity and individual freedom live
Whose strength lies in faith and self-reliance
A people that values its principles over its privileges.
Imagine a Democracy where the rule of law is bedrock
Whose morality is embedded in its Constitution
Born from philosophical wisdom and cultures past
That stands as a guiding light of Hope and Freedom.
A Republic that draws strength from crisis
And overcomes any obstacle with reason and resolve
“One nation, under God, indivisible
With liberty and justice for all.”
