Built on hope and horror
Liberty and inequality
Invention and detention
Arise now in these difficult days
And illuminate the world with the depth of your decency
Fellow citizens of this tortured land
Who struggle daily
With illness, violence, and questions of truth
Lean into the wisdom of good books and good people
Love your neighbor and
Bring the fairness that can only come
From just us
Oh, beautiful Americans,
Obey your better natures
Not despots or desperation
Care for the desperate and dispirited
Choose goodness and generosity
Open your arms wide
Embrace each other
And the future
