To span the great divide between us
Lay the bridge of commonality.
Find the semblance of shared desire
And expose in it our two fold love
This is the sweetness of sameness

For the joy of joined goals
Is best when all people
Feel the heat of one dream
And together lift it on high
Entertaining an insight of new found purpose
As one mind and one heart

Girded then with the armor of this unity
Our swords will do no harm
But will instead cauterize the wounds of our divisions
The shield of new found wisdom throttles
The stones and arrows of guile and pretense
And together we will see them fall to the earth
Not as instruments of war any longer,
But instead
As lessons to be learned
From the dissonant shadows of our past,
Now rendered harmless through tolerance
Without hatred
Without disdain
But with kindness
And a new found understanding

And by this road we must travel ever onward
Into the future of a shared vision and
Thus casting the seeds of doubt aside
The grapes of wrath will wither and die
In the light of our better natures
For there is no place for anger
When all are equally loved
And no place for regret
When forgiveness is realized
As the sacred dream

Sacred Dream indeed! We shall succeed!
