You think you are a stone.
I say, we are a mountain.
You think you are a thread.
I say, we are a tapestry.
You think you are a drop.
I say, we are an ocean.

We are a mighty mountain
A million men and women wise
Surprise! Surmise
What we can do —
You and you and me and you!

We are a tapestry:
Rainbow rayed with light arrayed;
A pattern that will still unfold
Reveal our true color: bold
Share inventions not yet played.

We are an ocean
A wave, a tide, a tidal wave
A thousand miles wide,
If we can summon brave
Feel our brotherhood; eschew false pride.

Believe not those whose only play is hate and fear;
Empty promises that hide behind a hidden tier;
Russian dolls and chopping halls,
Down and drown in putrid falls,
Flimsy flash and dazzle — naught inside.

Voices of the damned divide and hide
The nature of the power of the people all in unity.
Czars seek division; cheat with false impunity.
Have no love; offer no warm hand;
An iron glove; a loud brass band.
