Today that long complex journey through history
Has led us to the doorstep of change
A long journey through a
Dark labyrinth of underground tunnels
Has brought us to a lighted path of hope
A path that brings us to the crux of a new future
A future of grand inclinations and aspirations

Today the long journey over battered and broken spirits
Will be the beginning of a new voyage
One that leads to healing and restoration
One that unites and will not divide
One that brings a new awareness and appreciation
Of that which is different
Today the long journey that began across many waters
Has brought us to the cross road of a new dawn
