Long ago I made my choice
I will not be intimidated
I have nothing to hide
And I have done nothing wrong
I have a dream
Not to complete a journey
But to be begin one
We realize the importance of light when we see darkness
We realize the importance of our voice when we are silenced
We cannot succeed when half of us are held back
These are not ordinary times
We cannot walk alone
Their destiny is tied up with our destiny
Our world is changing.
I will protect your freedom
Carry on with your dreams
