That We Have Come

It is important we know

That we have come

And to know that what we know

Is a war half won

That we have come

To the point of self-apprehension

That we have come

And we must make a decision

Or we’ll win a war

Only to flunk a struggle

For this time love;

An impending hurdle.

That we have come

Not a crowd

But a people with funk

And hope profound

That we have come

Into war

Yet out war

We have sprung

To rouse ourselves from the mud

As champions of freedom

I say it is enough

That we have come
