This Journey Is Not Over

They left their homes for lands unknown
They travelled cross the sea
Escaping persecution and false authority
The land they found they made their own
This land so wild and green
The journey it was hard, but they believed

And they made a silent promise
And they never lost their hope
Carried dreams deep in their hearts of a better world
And it wasn't filled with hunger
Or with tyranny of creed
But a place their thought their children would be free

Well their efforts and ambition
It bred hypocrisy
As the men enslaved another man for opportunity
For centuries they persevered
Despite their misery
They sang and fought with every breath they breathed

And they made a silent promise
And they never lost their hope
Carried dreams deep in their hearts of a better world
And it wasn't filled with hatred
Oppression or with greed
But a place their thought their children would be free

Well despite our false progression
The path ahead's unclear
With governments and media determined to deceive
They brainwash and manipulate
They play upon our fears
Divide and conquer friends and family

So we make a silent promise
That we haven't lost our hope
There's a dream deep in our hearts for a better world
And it isn't filled with hatred
With violence, or with greed
It's a place we know our children will be free
And it isn't filled with sadness
With hunger or disease
Or lies disguised as baseless guarantees
And it isn't filled with people
Who have more than they need
And it isn't ruled by birth right destiny
So we make a silent promise
That we haven't lost our hope
There's a dream deep in our hearts to build a better world
And it isn't built on hatred
But on empathy and peace
It's a place we know our children will be free
It's a place we know our children will be free
