More Perfect Union

The Declaration of Independence

And the United States Constitution

For two and half centuries have been our guide

As we strive to be a more perfect union


They set our ideals and provide us a game plan

As, too, many sacrifice much to protect them

Working in foreign lands to promote freedom

Believing in the self- evident rights of all men

The game plan isn't easy 

But together we keep going 

Like the sun setting, rising 

We keep working, we keep showing

Along the upward climb

Respecting one another

Pursuing happiness the goal

Aiming high, supporting each other

Cheering on one who becomes brighter and better

Who builds their faith and home life more than work

And who is well rounded while progressing in their part

Adding to the light we show unto all of the world
