The Dreams of a People
"Heal our land, grant us peace, and strengthen us today
All those who lack the faith to call on Thee and pray
Keep us safe and free, we see the need for liberty
Guide us with your hand and still bless that great country
We'll put our trust in Thee so we will thus be free
Heal our land; Lead us in truth and democracy
Help us find our way, with love and fraternity
Protect us all with the power of unity"
"We know you dream for us in a constellat
When you dream, the flowers blush in admiration
Let us have another dream of yours; I have a dream
We shall say from the heart you refresh with a stream
We will stand up again for what is right and just
Give us the courage to be diligent we must
Be fair, equitable, in our sharing the wealth
Of our hard work to keep ev'ryone in good health
Show us how to invest our capital surplus
And create meaningful careers for all of us
Move us to be very dynamic in our jobs
Fruitful, dedicated, not wasteful and proud snobs
We dream as a people for a new beginning
From years of challenges
From the past nightmare of disasters and tough lies
Misleading cues of life in politics and ties
With selfish interests and pride, glory and rush
Sacrifices and dreams wiped by a money brush
We dream again, we thrive for the hope of real change
May Obama lead us to wealth in higher range
The wealth of real Justice, the wealth of real nurture
One nation under God, away from the vulture
Of greed and ugly risks, of stagnation and fear
To health for a country we cherish and hold dear
The audacity of hope instills optimism
In our hearts of patriots, we'll fight terrorism
Wherever we find it, we'll crush it with precision
And avert it with love and wisdom and decision
With guidance from above, hard work and diplomacy
And good monitoring
We will be strong and fair, we'll fight and win and care
For dreams of poor and rich, because the people dare
Carl Edward Nicolas
With a paraphrase of Wintley Phipps in the first ten verses
