The Roots - The Tipping Point

Strong and determined
We are living in a golden age of liberty

Strong and stable, more than a mantra
No one can doubt our country's leadership

Clear and strong support from friends and allies
All committed with clear minds and determination

We've taken strong and appropriate action
And will respond robustly to any credible threat

I ask you all therefore to be strong and united
As a symbol of our resolve to pursue justice at this time
We will achieve victory, as long as we are determined and strong
So remain calm and resolute in the face of a continuing threat

But we will not yield, no, we will not rest easy
As we answer all comers and face down the challenges

And we will look back on this extraordinary period
As the beginning of a new golden age


After George W. Bush, Theresa May and Boris Johnson
