In the same motion each component moves alike The wind moves us in the same direction, like a waltz we glide We're taking strides We're taking strides We are the strands of many But together as one we're tied When we breathe, we breathe winds of the holy When we drink, we drink of the same spirit Oh, what an exquisite piece of artistry Completed with deep strokes of diversity Thread by thread, seams are sewn with amity Holding up the one, the head of divinity No cast of class, none richer nor poorer Origins from the four corners, fingerprint of every blood The earth groans in agony So we build, build this eternal body Thorns and thistles still grow between rows So we build, build until creation knows We're taking strides We're taking strides Feet fail me not Stick to the narrow Eyes, don't grow fatigued See through the dark night Cataracts, seek the light Watch for the morning We share in ruin as we share in life Together we thrive, divided we die Ears, don't fall numb The call still whispers Heart, don't grow weary Keep persevering, holding true Yielding love, this will heal nations We share in ruin as we share in life We are the body and we are alive We are alive We are the body We are the body We're taking strides We're taking strides
