Thirteen clocks struck as one
And a new world had begun
‘Twas a miracle then
We need a miracle now

For We the People
Best hope, last stand on the earth
United we stand, we prevail
Believe we’ll endure
Never forget
The Spirit of our heroes

We share a common creed and we’re free
To pursue our big dreams
Destiny burns in our hearts
We reach beyond the stars

That’s We the People

Something’s going on
In time and space
A force is on the move
In this human race
There is no left
There is no right
We go up or we go down
If a time should come we have to choose
It’ll be the fight we cannot lose
This future belongs to the brave (Lord, heal our land today)
This future belongs to…
We the People

Song References:

Thirteen clocks struck as one…
“The Colonies had grown up under Constitutions of Government, So different, there was so great a Variety of Religions, they were composed of So many different Nations, their Customs, Manners and Habits had So little resemblance, and their Intercourse had been so rare and their Knowledge of each other So imperfect, that to unite them in the Same Principles in Theory and the Same System of Action was certainly a very difficult Enterprize. The compleat Accomplishment of it, in So Short a time and by Such Simple means, was perhaps a Singular Example in the History of Mankind. Thirteen Clocks were made to Strike together; a perfection of Mechanism which no Artist had ever before effected.”
– From John Adams to Hezekiah Niles, 13 February, 1818

‘Twas a miracle then…
“The disadvantageous circumstances on our part, under which the War was undertaken, can never be forgotten—The singular interpositions of Providence in our feeble condition were such, as could scarcely escape the attention of the most unobserving, while the unparalleled perseverance of the Armies of the United States, through almost every possible suffering and discouragement, for the space of eight long years, was little short of a standing Miracle..”

– George Washington’s Farewell Address to the Army, 2 November 1783
