In a world so vast and wide, when we’re unified, We find strength in community, standing side by side. Singing so bright and free, contagious and passionately This message of love, our melody When we unite, our music takes flight, With each note, our guiding light. Together we’ll sing, hearts aligned, When there’s harmony, our dreams start to shine. Different stories and families, we all may be, through music we find our way, to lasting unity. Singing so bright and free, contagious and passionately This message of love, our melody When we unite, our music takes flight, With each note, our guiding light. Together we’ll sing, hearts aligned, When there’s harmony, our dreams start to shine. Our voices we raise, our hearts on display, a hymn for today. With music to guide, we'll light up the sky, shining so bright. Together we’ll soar so high, reaching for the prize. With our song of community, we can bridge a divide When we unite, our music takes flight, With each note, our guiding light. Together we’ll sing, hearts aligned, When there’s harmony, our dreams start to shine. by Franklin Willis
