and we'll sing

i am going away

in the hour of my days

the warm knowing place still holds you

i will see you again

in the soft summer rain

where the hills turn again

to the ocean

take my heart

take my hand

on this ground where we stand

with the last of the land

in our glory

we are old

we are young

we are one

we are strong

and we walk ever on

to our glory

and we'll sing

and we'll sing

of the ties that bind forever

we will sing

had we but understood

had we but loved as we should

lock the brands of the girl

from the burning

so lay me down in your fields

on the pastures of green

where the clear running streams are flowing

and we'll sing

and we'll sing

of the ties that bind forever

we will sing

and we'll sing

and we'll sing

of the ties that bind forever

we will sing

i am going away

in the hour of my days

the warm knowing place still holds you

though we wonder and go we will cherish our own

on that long road home i'll be waiting

and we'll sing

and we'll sing

of the ties that bind forever

we will sing

and we'll sing

and we'll sing

of the ties that bind forever

we will sing

and we'll sing

and we'll sing

of the songs that last forever
