Songs of life
True ballad, dirge and ode
Songs of life
Sung by young and old
Songs woven in our hearts
Of bravery, love and hope
The scars of our heroes past
Worn with pride as gold

Songs of life
Sung by the ebullient youth
Songs of hope and love
Our feet wove the rhythmic truth
Well taught at twilight tales
We sing with vigor and faith

Songs of life
sung by young and old
Songs of hope, love, war and peace
Songs of the past scars
Songs of the future dreams
Threads for linking time;
True songs will forever be
