For the first time since
The fall of Rome
I finally feel
We have a home
Among the ruins
Of what had been
We command
All things obscene
Destiny's never been this manifest
Nor recollection so limitless
Stay idealistic
Stay optimistic
Keep your memory
Like the Pacific
And you'll surely be the toast
Of the California coast
For the first time since
The West was won
I finally feel
We have outrun
The shadows that
Once gave us pause
Here we stand
For your applause
