Out of the fallen trees we sing Sing like we're losing everything Lost and without a place to go Sing for myself, it's all I know Born to a brand new century Sing for our sisters patiently Born to a day that's just begun Sing for our mothers and our sons We sing for the voices never heard Sing for the lessons we've still not learned Sing for the peace we've never won Sing for the work that's still not done And if on our darkest days we cry Sing 'til we put our fears aside And if I feel myself begin to fold Sing for myself, it's all I know Sing for myself, it's all I know
