In the halls of power where shadows play,
Where dreams and fears are just whispers away,
I stand tall, with purpose in my stride,
For California's future won't lie down or hide.

With each dawn breaking on a new horizon,
We've built an empire from a modest beginning.
From Silicon Valley's spark to Hollywood's glow,
Our state leads the charge where others dare not go.

Yet there are those who whisper of yesterday's might,
Whose visions are clouded, their grip tight.
They point to decay while we forge ahead,
Lost in the past as progress is bred.

Let them mock and snipe from their crumbling ramparts,
For California isn't measured by backward clutches or charts.
We measure success not just in GDP,
But in the dreams that every child can see.

So here's to those who fight for a brighter day,
Who build with hope and work without delay.
California rises, unstoppable, unyielding, true,
With each step forward, we break through.

The future is ours, to shape and to share,
To light up the world from this golden West Coast lair.
So let them howl and rage in their dying night,
For California shines ever so bright.

CALIFORNIA
- Gov. Gavin Newsom
"The future is being built here."
