"America

We the people

Justice, the word most sought by all, seek God to bless the courts with truth, for through His wisdom we rise or fall.

America

We the people

Do honor this great lady fair, who with her mighty arms still holds, the scales of Justice for all to share.

America

We the people

Do offer threads of hope to all, for Justice covers everyone; she does not measure, short or tall.

America

We the people

Boldly make this pledge to thee, that Justice will, in mind and heart, guide each destiny.

America

We............the...........people."
