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

And 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

And 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

And 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
