My heart flies high on silvered wings
As I embrace rememberings
For all on earth I have not seen
And places that I haven’t been.
Like memories forever lost
It matters not whate’er the cost
Some visions I will never know
Are those that I choose to forego !
We’ve heard the tales, we know them well
The stories that the legends tell
Of heroes great both old and new
Who did the best that they could do.
They built this nation bright and strong
Accepting all who would belong
And turned our land into a place
Where freedom thrives in love and grace !
