I Am the Future

I am the future of this noble land
I look out for you to seek my hand
Although I am young I have ambitions and strengths
For I am the future you must understand
 
I acknowledge my predecessors, the heroes and souls
Who lost their lives in this struggle to uphold?
The many brave men and women who vied with racism
And followed their heart and altered all perception
 
Equality reigns supreme, no matter your hue
Past sins forgiven, success long overdue
I look to the sun and see it wink back
Confident am I that I am on the right track
 
Solitary winds envelop and succumb
Looking at my lands beauty I grow numb
I strive for success, happiness and fame
For I am the future, the youth by name
