To do what is right, we try
Against the odds, we try

Stand down
We fight, and only God knows

For the truth
We are manifest for this hour
We will not be silent
You are not like us, they say
Stand down
We fight, and only God knows

For our right to try
For our right to know

Stand down
We fight, and only God knows

For the truth
For our future
We are brilliant shades of light
We cannot be contained — David C. Riggins
