We cannot forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans--born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage--and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights

This is not the end, but we’re way past the beginning

Dug into the trenches, so it’s hard to say we’re winning

Atrocity’s are daily yet the world just keeps on spinning

We’re smarter working harder and we’re stuck doing their bidding

But we’re the dot com generation

More powerful than ever, not afraid of confrontation

Tasked with preventing every living thing’s damnation

The youth not the ancient are humanity’s salvation

It’s built into our cells

When we love it’s for our health

Still we selfishly rebel

How can we outsmart ourselves?

We’re all more connected, yet more alone

A species only more forgetful, the more that’s known

If we don’t start to trust each other, our chance is blown

I’m hearing people saying we’re not ready we’re not grown

But I believe that we really can survive

We’ve identified the problems

Know we cannot run or hide

It’s time that we take action

Yeah the moment has arrived

We can’t forget each other

If we’re ever gonna thrive

(Outro - JFK)

Let every nation know

Whether it wishes us well or ill

That we shall pay any price

Bear any burden

Meet any hardship

Support any friend

Oppose any foe

To assure the survival and the success of liberty
