We Hold These Truths
We Hold These Truths
We Hold These Truths
We hold these truths in this land of contradictions
In this star-spangled, hard-tangled tumble of traditions
We hold these truths in this time of deep divisions
In this time of tested love
Tested courage
Tested vision
Land of wheat fields, Wall Street, Main Street
My street, your street, mountains, plains
Land of freedom fights, competing rights
And progress born in pain
Land of blues and bluegrass
Hip-hop, country, rock and roll
Yellowstone and Hollywood
Little League and Super Bowl
We hold these truths
We still believe creation made you and me equal
We hold these truths
We still conceive this nation of and for the people
We hold these truths
Wave on wave we came
Waiting wanting to be free
Waiting to see that land of opportunity
We hold truths that shine
Like beacons in the night
And we hold truths that cry
Of wrongs we need to right
We hold truths of retrospection
Original sins of a brutal birth
And we hold seeds of our redemption
Planted in this fruitful earth
We the people haven't won yet
Our more perfect union isn't done yet
Out here we're still working so that
Our children's children are gonna be alright
Land of blues and bluegrass
Jazz and salsa, R&B
Interwoven lines of rhyme and rhythm, you and me
In this great experiment of history
Holding truths that feel contradictory
The glory of our story is both
The differences we bear
And the truths we share
We hold these truths
We still believe creation made you and me equal
We hold these truths
We still conceive this nation of and for the people
We hold these truths
In this land that holds so much
We hold no better thing
Than the bell of freedom
May we let it ring
We hold these truths
We make these declarations
Truths of our backstory
Our fact story
Our aspirations
Stories from our ancestors
And stories yet untold
These truths we hold
We Hold These Truths
We hold these truths in this land of contradictions
In this star-spangled, hard-tangled tumble of traditions
We hold these truths in this time of deep divisions
In this time of tested love
Tested courage
Tested vision
Land of wheat fields, Wall Street, Main Street
My street, your street, mountains, plains
Land of freedom fights, competing rights
And progress born in pain
Land of blues and bluegrass
Hip-hop, country, rock and roll
Yellowstone and Hollywood
Little League and Super Bowl
We hold these truths
We still believe creation made you and me equal
We hold these truths
We still conceive this nation of and for the people
We hold these truths
Wave on wave we came
Waiting wanting to be free
Waiting to see that land of opportunity
We hold truths that shine
Like beacons in the night
And we hold truths that cry
Of wrongs we need to right
We hold truths of retrospection
Original sins of a brutal birth
And we hold seeds of our redemption
Planted in this fruitful earth
We the people haven't won yet
Our more perfect union isn't done yet
Out here we're still working so that

We hold these truths
We make these declarations
Truths of our backstory
Our fact story
Our aspirations
Stories from our ancestors
And stories yet untold
These truths we hold
