America has a different face-
a face which radiates
hope and peace,
which bears the mark
of inner calm and
strength, of values
forged in the fires
of both prejudice and love.

America has a different face-
a face which is both
young and old, which is
African-American, Caucasian,
Hispanis, Asian, Native American
all at once, which is born of
the pride of races and genders
and ages united in one hope,
one purpose.

American has a different face-
a face which looks like
you and me, like every
sister and brother living
in this land- a face made
beautiful by triumph over
adversity, by unity in
spite of strife.

And so, America, let ring from
the mountains, roll across
the prairies, from seat to
shining sea, the new anthem
of hope and purpose and
oneness-
Yes, WE can!
