United and Free

Where have my people gone
 What is left for us to on 
 Our ways our life are in the past
We cling to them now to make them last
 We must keep our legacy
We must remember we are free
We will teach our young our customs and ways
 And pray they will see better days
We have the light of the One above
 And walk in the beauty of His love
 My brothers and sisters I leave you with this
We stand proud, brave, united and free
