    Celebrate America
    Celebrate America!

    Celebrate this day with shouts of gladness
    Or honor it with quiet tears of joy
    Finally our country steps toward greatness
    Ideals of freedom; not just a decoy

    Now can we “hold these truths self evident”?
    Can we at last embrace equality?
    Flames of righteousness burn ever ardent
    As side by side we live in amity

    It’s time for common folks to stand with pride
    To ride these tides of hope courageously
    To make sure cries for justice aren’t denied
    And give ourselves for others selflessly.

    The only way America stands tall
    Is if there‘s peace and liberty for all.

    For the occasion of
    The Inauguration of President Barack Obama
