Dr. Maya Angelou]
Out of the huts of history's shame, I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain, I rise

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear, I rise
Into a daybreak miraculously clear, I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the hope and the dream of the And so naturally, I go rising.
