DIGNITY, DIGNITY

DIGNITY, DIGNITY

DIGNITY, DIGNITY
you sustain liberty

DIGNITY, DIGNITY
you serve equality

DIGNITY, DIGNITY
you serve fraternity

DIGNITY, DIGNITY
You serve  DIVERSITY

DIGNITY, DIGNITY

DIGNITY, DIGNITY

DIGNITY, DIGNITY, we dream  of  THEE
A HUMAN RIGHT, we pray you always be!
