A Diamond Within the Gold
When time becomes of age
As dawn approaches a new days breathe
Where life in existence discovers boldly
The path to coexist.
To ward off the ashes of old
Of strife and misguided intolerance
America sees itself united
From the taint of racial ignorance.
Color has not the value of definition
Of a man behind the soul
To each individual has a name
A diamond within the gold.
The dawn of the age of acceptance
Of open eyes and open minds
Together to stand in unity
This is America defined.
