Looking Eastward

With Liberty and Justice...

With Liberty and Justice...

“With liberty and justice for all.”
Words, at the heart of a nation,
they pierce like a clarion’s call
to each, regardless of station.

Words, at the heart of a nation,
shining in freedom’s pure light,
to each, regardless of station,
confirming our God-given rights.

Shining in freedom’s pure light,
a symbol of cloth and of thread,
confirming our God-given rights
paid by heroes, both living and dead.

A symbol of cloth and of thread;
a reminder of words that won’t fade.
Paid by heroes, both living and dead
we must honor the pledge we have made.

A reminder of words that won’t fade;
they pierce like a clarion’s call.
We must honor the pledge we have made:
“with liberty and justice for all!”
