Our Nation begins a journey new.
Based on how our Nation grew.
The quiet contentment we used to know,
is tainted and stained like February snow.
A New Peace must settle in.
A New Journey will begin.
When lives were shattered,
we remembered what mattered,
and a new resolve grew in us strong.
We now must right, The bad. The wrong.
A New Peace must settle in.
A New Journey will begin.

With our children
We must begin
To shape our history
From within.
A new beginning
A brand new start
With love abounding
From the heart.
Remember those
In all you do
For they are those
Who lived for you.

Oh Youth remember
nothing more
than stories
and candy
and a Bubble War.
Oh youth begin
to change our way
from hate to courage
and peace each day.

Of greatness and glory
Our land tells a story
Our symbols are grand
Our mountains expand
So great in length
The nature of strength.

My banner waves
red white and blue
a star for a state
a stripe for the true.
Life means so much
when my banner doth fly
for Freedom and Peace
so high in the sky.

What is the history
that they read?
How much time
will we need?
Will the day
be over soon?
Will they see
a Harvest Moon?
Will our fear
just pass away?
Will they remember
that awful day?
