The Dye is Cast
So, what to do now the dye is cast
our choices now seem to be lost
in this land of emotions vast
do we but sigh and say “what cost!”
anger misplaced by any hue
can grow until it causes harm
stir hate where love is overdue
and signal there's cause for alarm
our nation's fate still rides on trust
of freedom's power to persuade
take off your coat, there's work to do
to protect promises we've made
we won't be idle: we're not through
protecting the red, white and blue!
