Thankful for life
Hopeful for what is to come
Excited for the adventure coming towards us

Dreaming of a better world
Ending the suffrage of people
Vigilantly fighting for a cause
In vain those boys raised hell on the front
Lives lost for the “greater good”
‘Someday these fights will end

Angels look down, look and see
Right through the gates at us
Inside of our lives, this messed up place
The challenge that all of us face
Here we are all the same
Many have been made one
And all people should be treated equal
Together we are no better than we are
In our own lives, we are all the same
Come and be thankful with us
