Our Voice
Language: English
I stood for great things.
I stood for simple, long-lasting things.
My note was my word; my voice was my song.
You came along for the ride.
I started for me and I ended for the one that is Us
And the whole that is Everyone.
My note, my song, my voice, my word -
Now look at this thing we have made -
This journey we've done,
This monument
Outlasting granite and iron.
We stand for great things.
We stand for my note.
Your word.
My song.
Our voice.
