I want to dream in color,

In dye, shade, and hue.

But this you may discover,

Is not so simple to do.

We all want to be unique,

Set aside from all the rest.

One should not critique,

Unless you've already tried your best.

Our differences are what make us,

Shape us, even separate us.

But don't forget that we,

Are perfect just the way he made us.

Respect and appreciate,

Our oddities, as they are,

So easy to give into hate,

That's not what we're aiming for.

I believe in a world of balance,

Support and Restoration.

I think we can take on the challenge,

For we are a wonderful Nation.

I want to dream in color,

don't you?
