Today –
I will not let you take away my peace.
I will not let you take away my faith.
I will not let you take away my happiness.

I will not let you take away my peace.
I will not let you take away my faith.

Today she gave
her two weeks’ notice, notice.
She’s going to show us, show us
that she’s made of
just the right stuff.
She welcomes travelers home above,
Her face is the first many see.
It is a duty she does with love,
Comforting the sad and lonely.
Please imagine if you will,
A time so very long ago.
A place we had known so well,
But now, we don’t even know.
We have been asked
to love one another,
treat each person
as our sister or our brother.
