Soaring Like Birds
“Over your head the vast expanse of sky
under your feet, a great wonderful Land
to the distant shore your casting light

Were it not for that voice, color, and feeling
you would remain unknown, even one thousand years passed by

Upright erected, you command the bay
casting your hope upon people’s Mind

You are the torchlight for seafaring tribes
reaching out your voice to all humankind

We demand Dignity, Quality, Humanity
forever enduring as Our dreams

Soaring like birds
swimming like fish
moving like animals

radiating like God, your ultimate brightness
silently, unceasingly

bringing Liberty, Peace, and Love
to every corner of the Earth.”
