I close my eyes, tell us why must we suffer 
Release your hands for your [bad word] asunder 
My legs long tired, tell us where must we wander 
How can we carry on with redemption beyond us 

To all of my children in whom life flows abundant 
To all of my children to whom death hath passed his judgment 
The soul yearns for honor and the flesh the hereafter 
Look to those who've walked before to lead those who walk after 

Shining is the land's light of justice 
Ever flows the land's well of purpose 
Walk free, walk free, walk free, believe, 
The land's alive, so believe 

Suffer [feel] (me) lonely [face] (me) weakness [teach] (me) evil [fear] (me) 
Although [feel] (me) one must [face] (me) stumble [teach] (me) listen [speak] (me) 
(Although we) [speak] we (might) [tell] them (we must) [tell] them (land of) [hope] hope 
(Mother) [hope] hope (father) [wish] wish (every) [wish] wish (has a) [roam] home 
(We must go) [roam] go (listen) [roam] go (suffer) [roam] home (sanctum) [swim] leap 
(And as) [speak] we (wander) [sleep] sleep (answer) [sleep on] sleep on (on) 

Now open your eyes while our plight is repeated 
Still deaf to our cries lost in hope we lie defeated 
Our souls have been torn and our bodies forsaken 
Bearing sins of the past for our future is taken 

War, born of strife these trials dissuade us not 
Words without sound these lies betray our thoughts 
Mired by your plague of doubt, the land she mourns 
Judgment binds all we hold to a memory of scorn 
Tell us why, given life, we are meant to die? Help us in our cries! 

Witness (we) suffer (we) borrow (we) reason 
(We) follow (we) [bad word] (we) wander (we) listen 
(We) whisper (we) shoulder (we) addle (we) weather 
(Please) answer (you) answer (me) answer together 

Thy life is a riddle to bear rapture and sorrow 
To listen, to suffer, to [bad word] unto tomorrow 
In one fleeting moment from the land doth life flow 
Yet in one fleeting moment for anew it doth grow 
In the same fleeting moment thou must live, die and know
