Freedom For All

We hope to be treated kind, without bias
So often we're sorely disappointed

From the start, we’re taught how to love & hate
But life teaches us lessons, along the way

Different beliefs don’t mean either is wrong
Educational values arise from all cultures

Covered in ash, at New York's ground zero
Working together, colors obscured… no judging

Our servicemen fight, protecting one another
Gender, race… religion aren’t of the soldiers concern

Our beliefs should always shine through us
Striving to maintain basic human rights & freedom for all
