Humanity

Hungering to help those weaker than self

United in our hopes for peace

Marriage of ideals, reaching for a dream

Acts of random kindness without reward

Nurturing a legacy of selflessness

Integrating cultures and embracing change

Transcending racial bias, unifying

Young are taught to respect all living things
