Let it be
that we came to see
what was best for humanity
was to become free in our time.
Let them recall
that before we could fall
we found the strength to stand tall
and become free in our time.
Let us hope
the most enduring human trope
isn’t tyranny’s noose, but a lifeline rope
as we become free in our time.
