At the crossroads, standing here
Not a star in the sky to guide me tonight
Left for lost, and lost in fear
Deep in darkness drown my cries

All this pain inside of me
Don’t know where it starts or when it’ll end
Try and tame like agony
As I close my eyes and scream to the wind

Look around and find I’m standing all alone
(Look again, we’re standing here)
‚Cause the storm has taken everything I’ve known
(Leaving loss you needn’t bear)
Don’t know why I thought I’d make it by myself
(After all that we’ve been through)
Out of time, I’m runnin‘ blind. Can’t somebody help?
(Know we’re always there for you)

Learned so much in life I couldn’t understand
(Understand we’re by your side)
Standing tall we’ll face tomorrow hand in hand
(Mine in yours and yours in mine)
Weaving men’ries, through the warp and weft we wend
(This, our tale, a tapestry)
Never losin‘ sight of everywhere that we’ve been
(And everywhere we’re gonna be)

In lightning’s wake did naught but ash remain
Yet with the rain, does life’s song ring again
O’er ancient forests, out beyond the plains
It carries on, we’ll carry on, whoa

So smile and let the rainbow sing
(Red and yellow, blue and green)
Alive with everything it brings
(Laughter, peace, and harmony)
We walk a neverending trail
(In our hearts, we carry hence)
One love, no, it shall never pale
(This is our inheritance)

I turn around and what do I see?
(Turn around and there we’ll be)
A light that guides our way to the key
(Do you still remember me?)
A silent flame that burns ever bright
(What you’ve lost you won’t forget)
To see us forward out of the night
(‚Til tomorrow comes and then…)

Tight! Seize the day and hold on tight
The sun is risin‘
Life, take it slow and take a bite

So high, on the dawn we set our sights
A new horizon
Fly, ever forward, starry-eyed

Hold tight, this land we call our home
(Built upon a common dream)
We fight to never let it go
(Arm-in-arm, we still believe)
Of fire, we have not seen the last
(And the storm on which it rides)
We’ll rise again once it has passed
(All for one, we march in stride)

And if you think you’re ready to fly
(I’ll lift you up and carry you)
We’ll spread our wings and take to the sky
(There is nothing we can’t do)
Come wipe away the tears in your eyes
(What we’ve lost we won’t forget)
Together for the rest of our lives
(‚Til tomorrow comes and then…)

The path ahead is steep
And from the heavens the gods shall grant me relief
Still we go on, we carry on, oh
Never can we stop
Never can we stop

Here come together, this land we’ll defend
Now and forever, for we won’t end
