~ Abundant Heart ~
Build me with love, strengthen me with hope
shape me by the colors of diversity...
you'd risk your life to fight for me
and help to keep our country free
a Soldier foremost, no place for labels
honor knows no gender identity
love who you will, I'll bake you that cake
to celebrate joy is never a mistake
A common thread, a simple right:
to live and love in equality
abundant hearts should not be denied
protections redacted, Lady Liberty cried
when we deny the American Dream
we've closed the door on humanity
inward, not outward, is where it begins
see the beauty of color on different skins
we are different and we are the same
unite and embrace in mutuality
build me with love, strengthen me with hope
shape me by the colors of diversity
what was lost by ignorance and hate
will always be found again by love.
