My people had the strength

My people had the might

It's in their veins traveling

Through their blood.

My people are strong

My people are one

The unbreakable soul

It's spirit making them

Unbridled.

We were chosen not for

Our color but our strength.

Scientific and historic

Our bonds made by men

Because we were the strongest

And still powerful. They knew

That with knowledge we will

Have all we needed to conquer

So they corrupted that knowledge

But our souls knew the truth as the good book really says.

So my people, my strong people, my long-suffering people, we are strong.

We are one. We are tough. Our past proves this and our knowledge we know and can accept is unstoppable. We can do anything. So my people, own yourself and your power by doing the impossible.
