Lyrics
That is the story of our history,
And on nights like this one no matter
Where we came from, what God we pray too,
Or what race or ethnicity we were, we were united as one family.
And yet we know that the worst images
Are those that were unseen to the world.
The empty seat at the dinner table,
Children who were forced to grow up
Without their mother or their father.
Parents who would never know the feeling of their child's embrace.
They are part of a generation that has borne the heaviest
Share of the burden, leaving a gaping hole in our hearts.
We know well the costs of war.
These chains are finally gone.
We people did not choose this fight,
It came to our shores. We worked tirelessly to achieve this out come.
And there's no one to tell me no.
We offered our neighbors a hand and we offered the wounded our blood.
Well I'm a young man now and I still have time to grow.
We reaffirmed our ties to each other, we do not see their work,
Nor know their names. But tonight,
They feel the satisfaction of their work
And the result of their persuit of justice.
These chains are finally gone.
We were also united in our goal that this does not
Mark the end of our effort, struggle and sacrifice.
And there's no one to tell me no.
Finally let us think back to the sense of
Unity, I know that it has at times, frayed.
Well I'm a young man now and I still have time to grow.
Yet today's achievement is a testament to the
greatness of our determination and should be welcomed by all
Who believe in peace and human dignity.
These chains are finally gone, and there's no one to tell me no.
Well I'm a young man now and I still have time to grow.
