We believe in our creator,
who made us all as one
Hearts, minds, and hands
from so many lands
stood with us until the battles were won
We showed the world, that if we all stand together against tyranny, against overwhelming odds, we could win.
Our children,will face many challenges, our people many difficulties, but together….we have a voice, united we have a face, and arm in arm, carrying our freedom, we can and will create a better world for ourselves.
And when the last gun falls silent, let us smile at the laughter, and join together, grateful to those that gave so much toward the cause of freedom…
Honour those who have fallen, not with tears or vengence, but instead..
We commit ourselves to a new time,
A time of real work, real hope, real prosperity…
Our Creator gave us our lives as a gift of love…
And what we now do with our lives is our gift to Him.

Uitstekend en baie waar. Ons staan weereens in dieselfde tyd en kan net bid dat die uitkoms net so goed sal wees.
