I seek, I grow, I rise
From deep ancestral roots
Pulsating through the veins of time
Composted in truths
From deep ancestral roots
A fidelity I keep
Composted in truths
To carry on their legacy
A fidelity I keep
Nurtured with a vision
To carry on their legacy
For generations yet to come
Nurtured with a vision
Committed to a lineage of hope
To carry on their legacy
I seek, I grow, I rise.

For centuries, saplings have grown through adversity, rising to majestic heights. Our families, like trees, rooted themselves in America, optimistic for the promise of opportunity. They came with hopes and manifested their dreams. Their accomplishments, our gift, a legacy that we too, must nurture and carry on.
