F aces old and new
A mong generations where
M any freedoms are deem'd
I ll-gotten in this blood-soak'd 
L and of the free; and our
Y outh sometimes forget true  
R easons for the gathering;
E ducation of our minds
U nity of our purpose
N eeding to reclaim the circle
I n honor of those
O ld souls who bore burdens,
N uturing our oneness again.
