Our Common Goal
This is where legends wake and dreams uncoil. Branches made by dreams, reach for a wider sky, Where the flags of many nations fly.
No longer bound by a shadow’s weight, But voluntary equals, We open the gate to a garden of global democracy. Sharing the mirrors of an ancient story, To show the world our modern glory.
Our awakened minds spark the Earth to stir. We take our place on the global stage, Writing the lines of a digital age. With innovation and tech in our hands, The wisdom of silicon meets the spirit of lands.
And wealth will be generated by the peoples will. With brilliant tools and a daring light. From coding hubs to fields of green, The brightest future yet unseen.
Walking together, distinct and free, A family with a common goal: To form a bridge of progress built to last.
