Don’t you forget who I am
Don’t desert our cause
Tread fire, ford water, fend the elements
Determining brave new laws

For where has the world obsessed
That no longer bravery rates
Upheaving the desert to cover the planet
Erasing the past of its dates

Forge we to plan ahead
With courage so boldly stand
And rudderless hold the bulwarks of time
Until we have fared our hand

When the age has spread out at last
With a new line of promises
We’ll smell of the roses our fathers opposed
And build our sons trellises.
