This is my pledge for a lifetime, an oath for the future
Brothers and sisters, starting today
I will promise forever to care and to nurture
To love one another–to build a new day…
I believe that every person has a right to who they are
Entitled to their dignity in this land or afar
I believe the very thoughts and acts of hatred causes harm
Now together we must take a stand and sing out arm in arm.
This is a pledge for a lifetime, an oath for the future
Brothers and sisters, starting today
We must promise forever to care and to nurture
To love one another–to build a new day…
From this day forward we must strive to void our biased fears
And teach our children tolerance for generations through the years
To treat each person with respect—Embrace humanity
Fulfill this promise every day, so all the world can see…
This is our pledge for a lifetime, an oath for the future
Brothers and sisters, starting today
We must promise forever to care and to nurture
To love one another–to build a new day…

You’re the bravest of hearts, you’re the strongest of souls
You’re my light in the dark, you’re the place I call home
You can say it’s all right, but I know that you’re breaking up inside
I see it in your eyes
Even you face the night afraid and alone
That’s why I’ll be there
When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend
Ev’ry beat of my heart, ev’ry day without end
Ev’ry second I live, that’s the promise I make
Baby, that’s what I’ll give, if that’s what it takes
If that’s what it takes
You can sleep in my arms, you don’t have to explain
When your heart’s crying out, baby, whisper my name
‘Cause I’ve reached out for you when the thunder is crashing up above
You’ve given me your love
When your smile like the sun that shines through the pain
That’s why I’ll be there
When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend
Ev’ry beat of my heart, ev’ry day without end
I will stand like a rock, I will bend till I break
Till there’s no more to give, if that’s what it takes
I will risk everything, I will fight, I will bleed
I will lay down my life, if that’s what you need
Ev’ry second I live, that’s the promise I make
Baby, that’s what I’ll give, if that’s what it takes
Through the wind and the rain, through the smoke and the fire
When the fear rises up, when the wave’s ever higher
I will lay down my heart, my body, my soul
I will hold on all night and never let go
Ev’ry second I live, that’s the promise I make
Baby, that’s what I’ll give, if that’s what it takes
If that’s what it takes
Every day
If that’s what it takes
Every day
