    In this Day

    In this day, we must do well,
    this we must do for ourselves,
    we must do well for others,
    and we must do this because,
    we are the people who would be true.

    In this day we must do well.
    this we must do for there is much ill,
    we must do this without fail,
    for the ill that is, is lie
    we are the people who would be true.

    In this day we must do well
    we are duty bound, in blood honor,
    for people to suffer is loathsome woe,
    we must rise above what was, to become what can be,
    For we are the people who would be true.

    In this day we must do well
    for we would dry the tears of pain,
    lay rest the fears of change, reach for the future,
    for ourselves, for each other, and for our children,
    that we may be, and be becoming, all that human can be,
    For we are the people who would be true.

    In this day, do well, we must,
    we must learn again, each other to trust,
    we must rekindle hope in our hearts,
    we must fill our eyes with this vision
    and with faith, through conviction, in love,
    free ourselves from the lies of the dollarsign eyes,
    for united we must stand and bring change to this land,
    for many to suffer, for the greed of the few, puts lie to.
    we are the people who would be true.

    For the unjustness of the suffering, for the love of our lives,
    and for the sake of the children we doom by our slothful inaction,
    allow the winds of change to once again bring power to the people!
