1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.000
We are the city that refuses to be diverted from the positive path that stretches clearly before us.

2
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:18.000
We are the city that refuses to be divided by forces that do not realize this is a new day.

3
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:24.000
We are the city that refuses to despair, but continues to hope.

4
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:33.000
We are the city whose people refuse to become bogged down in the mire of demagoguery and inflammatory rhetoric.

5
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:38.000
And like the phoenix, which is a symbol of our city,

6
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:47.000
today we have arisen from the ashes of a very bitter campaign to build a better life for all Atlantans.

7
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:56.000
