Lyrics

MILITARY SERGEANT AND CHORUS
Today our soldiers
Are sent around the world.
But whether abroad or
Here on the home front,
In the battle
Against extremists [or extremism],
Our greatest strength is always
Our American creed.
E pluribus unum,
“From the many, one”
MILITARY SERGEANT
Through our difference,
Is there a way?
MILITARY CHORUS
E pluribus unum,
“From the many, one”
MILITARY SERGEANT
Black and white,
All the colors of the world:
Asians and Latine,
Muslims, natives, and Sikhs
Wearing turbans
Wearing headscarves
Women and men
And lgbtq+
Can we all be one?
Under one flag?
Serving one nation?
Do we fight for all?
SERGEANT & MILITARY CHORUS
We are not colorblind,
We are colorful.
E pluribus unum.
Written by: Henry David Hwang, Huang Ruo
