Whatever the circumstances are,
No matter how evil men seem to lord it over,
Whatever setbacks we suffer,
Though misfortunes befall us,
However bleak and dark tomorrow may seem.

We will not cower,
We will stand up and fight,
We will not surrender,
We will not give up,
We remain hopeful and steadfast.

The days are coming:

Of prosperity and plenty
Of justice and peace
Of understanding
Of unity and equality.

Forward we go, all you who have this nation’s interest at heart
To those who love this country: toil, work and give it all your best
Dream of the great things we can do, how noble we can be

The Pearl shines.

A better future awaits, no matter what the present is.

This I believe.
