I promise to bring you change,
To protect liberty, that is our duty.
We will defend our home, America, the beauty.
We will begin to do good deeds,
And end the era of planting weeds.
We will protect our home and allies, but look for peace,
The unnecessary violence will now begin to cease.
It is not what your country can do for you,
But supporting your country is your cue.
