We have not forgotten who we are
We are radicals
wise blonde and nappy
green and eager
hippies and cowboys
We are native and new
survivors and heroes
fit and in wheelchairs
We are French fries and sushi
dreamers and scientists
rigid and bent
suits and clergy
temples and churches
We are proud humble and still learning
We love big gay and straight
wearing yarmulkes and sombreros
kimonos and locks
We are hunters and vegans
We are brave
We are the world collected in a country
connected by hope
We are awake and on fire
We have not forgotten
We are Americans
