Words and Music by Ruben Duarte / Arranged and Orchestrated by Ron Blount 

We stand embracing this brand new day
Knowing our future is here today
And we thank God who has paved the way to arise

We arise as our candle burns
Ever bright, for our destiny unfolds

We arise to make a difference for our world
