Connect the Dots 101

[VERSE 1]
Atlantic and Pacific flow
The Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico
The land between sustains us all
To cherish it, our tireless call

[Chorus]
Arise! Arise!
I see the future in your eyes
To a more perfect union we aspire
And lift our voices from the fire

[VERSE 2]
We reached these shores from many lands
We came with hungry hearts and hands
Some came by force and some by will
At the auction block, or the darkened mill

[Chorus]
Arise! Arise!
I see the future in your eyes
To a more perfect union we aspire
And lift our voices from the fire

[VERSE 3]
We died in your fields and your factories
Strange fruit hangin’ from the poplar trees
With an old coat hanger in a room somewhere
A trail of tears, an electric chair

[Chorus] Arise! Arise! I see the future in your eyes To a more perfect union we aspire And lift our voices from the fire

[VERSE 4] Our great responsibility To be guardians of our liberty ‘Till tyrants bow to the people’s dream And justice flows like a mighty stream

[Chorus] Arise! Arise! I see the future in your eyes To a more perfect union we aspire And lift our voices from the fire

[Chorus] Arise! Arise! I see the future in your eyes To a more perfect union we aspire And lift our voices from the fire
