Arise At Dawn

Hopelessness had silenced us,
For we got weary of the road we are heading,
It is dark it is dim,
As if no one is leading us nowhere,

But among the weary someone stood,
Someone fought, some start shouting,
Let our voices be heard,
Let our votes be our voices,

And the wind has changed,
The stars redeemed its glow,
Those broad stripes reclaimed its range,
The Star - Spangled Banner waves in pride,

We withstand the dark,
Now unified we arise at the dawn,
Our time is here,
Our time is now,

We are land of the free 
and home of the brave,
And no matter what, 
our flag will keep standing tall,
