We are One Nation

We are one Nation, we are one land,  

With a heart that beats, united we stand.  

From the mountains high to the valleys below,  

In a tapestry woven, together we grow.

 

Chorus

We are the melting pot, we proudly declare,  

Different colors blend in the love that we share.  

With every tale told, and each hand held tight,  

We rise together, shining ever bright.

 

 

From the shores of freedom to the city’s embrace,  

In the dance of our cultures, we find our place.  

With laughter and tears, we’ll find our way,  

In the warmth of our bond, come what may.

 

 

Through battles we’ve fought, side by side in the fray,  

Our melting heritage paved the path to today.  

With courage and honor, our forebears stood tall,  

In the name of freedom, they answered the call.

 

Chorus

We are the melting pot, we proudly declare,  

Different colors blend in the love that we share.  

With every tale told, and each hand held tight,  

We rise together, shining ever bright.

 

Bridge

Through storms that may come and the trials we face,  

In the strength of our union, we’ll find our grace.  

With love as our guide, we’ll weather the night,  

For in unity's arms, we’ll always find light.

 

Chorus

We are the melting pot, we proudly declare,  

Different colors blend in the love that we share.  

With every tale told, and each hand held tight,  

We rise together, shining ever bright.

 

 

So here’s to tomorrow, let our voices resound,  

In this land of the free, let’s stand on common ground.  

For we are one Nation, forever we’ll be,  

A chorus of voices, in sweet harmony.
