A new day is dawning
The dove begins to sing
He sings for the man
You
Our father of this country

You are the face
Of our brothers and sisters
Proud to be called
Americans

You are the keeper of our
Hopes and dreams
Our spirit,
Our trust

You are our father
That has shown our country's children
That they can achieve
Anything

You hold the palm
of the child's hand
Guide her to
A better education

You hold the keys
To our homeland
Let it be green,
Let it be free

You are our Shepard
Gathering us together
In unity

You hold the wish
Of a mothers dream
That her son will return
From the desert

You are a beacon
Of light
You are the promise
Of tomorrow

You are standing on the mountaintop
As your fathers did before you
As you give your oath
A new day dawns
Let us sing with the dove
