Today we walked with a purpose,
down these warm streets.
With the sun shining bright,
upon our faces and
sweat running down our backs
but we still walked with a purpose.
Everyone seems to stare
but little do they know,
we are changing the world.
We are soldiers
and these streets are our battle fields.
We realize how lost our world really is,
but we still walked with a purpose.
Each footstep we took was a step of hope,
the hope we carried in our hearts.
There were many rejections
but we still walked with a purpose.
However we are not the only ones illuminating this world,
there were many other soldiers fighting this battle
and at the end of the day,
we all walked with a purpose.
