America
Will
Be
Great
America
will be great when all people feel safe, no matter the color of their
skin, no matter where they were born, no matter who they love, and no
matter where they do or do not worship.
America
will be great when every person has a safe place to sleep at night
and enough food to eat each day.
America
will be great when every person can go to the doctor and get the
medicine and care they need when they are sick.
America
will be great when all people can get the education they need to do
the work they love.
America
will be great when acceptance, understanding, and love are the
expectation for handling disagreements or differences.
America
will be great when we value all people more than money or
power.
America
will be great when we see ability, value, and worth in all
people.
America
will be great when we welcome those from other places, recognizing
that we have much to learn from each other, and the possibility of
creating a bright future together.
America
will be great when we value every person’s work and pay enough
money for people to be able to meet all of their needs.
America
will be great when we value peace and love equally for all people in
all the world.
America
will be great when we care about the planet and work to keep our
lands, water, air, and habitats clean and safe for all that live
there.
America
will be great when we, the people, unite to make it so.
