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.”
