The Great Seal
E Pluribus Unum
Out of many, one
The National Motto
In God We Trust
In Deo Speramus Nobis
It is a new age
With fewer than half of Americans
Participating in organized religion
It is a new age
When polarity in our politics
Is the highest since our Civil War
If we only write the motto
On our money, and not our hearts
We easily become bankrupt
If we only seek unity
Without compromise
The only thing sealed is our fate
We live in an age
That revels in self
At the cost of unity
We live in an age
That revels in wealth
At the cost of faith
Poverty of Spirit and
Self-centered divisiveness
Are only symptoms of what plagues us
The lights are slowly dimming
From our city on a hill
And the eyes of the world are upon us
While a single candle glows faintly
Millions flickering together rival the sun
E Pluribus Unum
In times of troubles
Prepare against the worst by living for the best
In God we trust
In the reign of those who divide us
Focus on those that join us
Trust the greater good to unify us in spite of ourselves
In God We Trust
Out of the many, one
