Pain and pride
Are in our stride
Shouldered to protect
Innocent lives
Despair and grief
For all we’ve seen
Righteous anger
For some who lead
Power and money
Can corrupt good souls
Tempting the best
To lose control
So, a license to achieve
By whatever means
Tests our faith
And all we believe
As we weigh both man’s
And God’s commands
Replacing leaders
With honorable hands.
