Lyrics
I shall not tire of the road we're walking
Your smile a candle, I shall not tire
I shall not weaken in the face of danger
But draw you close to me
We're not alone
We're not alone
Earth, like a friend who's wounded
Child, you're the fragile promise of tomorrow
You can become a condor in a moment
Will you spread your wings of courage and fly on?
Trees are a story telling
Stars, like the burning sun that warms the waters
Wind is a force that cleans our sails of sorrow
Women, guide the ship of freedom and sail on, sail on
I shall not tire of the road we're walking
Your smile a candle, I shall not tire
I shall not weaken in the face of danger
But draw you close to me
We're not alone
We're not alone
Creatures of courage make a chain that can't be broken
Like my heart can be broken
Links must withstand the strain and pull
That tries to tear our souls apart
Hands, like a map I'll follow
And songs are the haunting call that draws me forward
Heart, be a drum that keeps my feet from slowing
Like a cadence that is crying, "March on, march on!"
Force that has turned the power of the people
Into steel that strikes a fire
Can we use the heat to solder such a chain
And fight on, fight on?
I shall not tire of the road we're walking
Your smile a candle, I shall not tire
I shall not weaken in the face of danger
But draw you close to me
We're not alone
We're not alone
We're not alone
