It is one step
Closer to peace
To erase the past
And create the present
Hopefully it will last
It is one step
To stand for our country
With nothing to fear
Because of love of America
Our thankfulness shall be here
It is one step
And you took it
From your heart
We wish you luck
You will be a big part
Of our world
