Give me strength to retain what my fathers brought forth

Hold no scars on their memory

No regret for the truth they had founded

Never more this tragedy



Forsaken few, they're left with nothing

No longer hold them down



Hands once tied now empower my enemy

A common thread that oppression believes

The grand design ends in tyranny

The cost of safety's paid when no one is free



Forsaken few, they're left with nothing

No longer hold them down

Believe this truth we're wrong to trust them

No longer hold them down



It's come, down through the ages

Don't let it fall away don't let it fall away

This gift, down through the ages

Don't let it fall away, don't let it fall away



Our greatness is our proof

They know these words are true



Believe this truth we're wrong to trust them

No longer hold them down



It's come, down through the ages

Don't let it fall away don't let it fall away

This gift, down through the ages

Don't let it fall away, don't let it fall away



It's come, down through the ages

Don't let it fall away don't let it fall away

This gift, down through the ages

Don't let it fall away, don't let it fall away
