Do the lanterns lead us on from afar?

Do our eyes belie the memory of the friends we′ve lost?

Take comfort, if you believe you'll meet again

But until that day, as we mortals may, live to honour them

Let us not be weighted by what we can′t control

The past cannot be changed, the future calls us on

And should you try and fail, stand and start again

The deepest cuts all heal, leaving only what you've learned from them

So we change, so we change the world

Hiding, not among the thousands

But with a voice that's heard

And the ages turn, as the ages turned before

In the acts of our tenacity -

Long may we endure!

Tempered by the forge; laden as the die are cast

Onwards we move, bearing all our wounds until the worst is past

In the aftermath, we′ll answer to ourselves

For our measure of our actions and for our victories

So we change, so we change the world

Hiding, not among the thousands

But with a voice that′s heard

And the ages turn, as the ages turned before

In the acts of our tenacity -

Long may we endure!

So we change, so we change the world

Hiding, not among the thousands

But with a voice that's heard

And the ages turn, as the ages turned before

In the acts of our tenacity -

Long may we endure!
