The clouds take on the shape of an eagle
As we remember twenty-one years ago
When life changed so profoundly
Individually and collectively
Someone said we no longer cry
But I have been shedding tears for weeks
I will never allow myself to forget
For then I will have lost my humanity
My faith sustains me
We must be better
Not bitter, but united
That songs of freedom will still be sung
Expand your lungs and sing along
