[01:53.10]
[01:55.10]
[01:57.10]The moonlight it was dancing
[02:00.74]On the waves, out on the sea
[02:05.07]The stars of heaven hovered
[02:08.98]In a shimmering galaxy
[02:12.10]
[02:13.01]A voice from down the ages
[02:16.91]So in haunting in its song
[02:21.05]These ancient stones will tell us
[02:24.95]Our love must make us strong
[02:28.30]
[02:35.12]The breeze it wrapped around me
[02:38.65]As I stood there on the shore
[02:43.05]And listened to this voice
[02:46.77]Like I never heard before
[02:50.02]
[02:51.12]Our battles they may find us
[02:54.94]No choice may ours to be
[02:59.01]But hold the banner proudly
[03:02.75]The truth will set us free
[03:05.96]
[03:21.06]My mind was called across the years
[03:25.02]Of rages and of strife
[03:29.12]Of all the human misery
[03:32.65]And all the waste of life
[03:36.06]
[03:37.10]We wondered where our God was
[03:41.02]In the face of so much pain
[03:44.71]I looked up to the stars above
[03:49.00]To find you once again
[03:52.09]
[04:37.13]We travelled the wide oceans
[04:40.98]Heard many call your name
[04:45.01]With sword and gun and hatred
[04:49.05]It all seemed much the same
[04:52.30]
[04:52.89]Some used your name for glory
[04:56.92]Some used it for their gain
[05:00.64]Yet when liberty lay wanting
[05:04.90]No lives were lost in vain
[05:08.11]
[05:14.91]Is it not our place to wonder
[05:18.66]As the sky does weep with tears
[05:23.23]And all the living creatures
[05:26.95]Look on with mortal fear
[05:30.17]
[05:30.76]It is ours to hold the banner
[05:34.95]Is ours to hold it long
[05:38.67]It is ours to carry forward
[05:42.92]Our love must make us strong
[05:46.67]
[06:01.29]And as the warm wind carried
[06:05.07]Its song into the night
[06:08.97]I closed my eyes and tarried
[06:12.97]Until the morning light
[06:16.41]
[06:16.82]As the last star it shimmered
[06:20.86]And the new sun’s day gave birth
[06:24.68]It was in this magic moment
[06:28.80]Came this prayer for mother earth
[06:32.09]
Reprise:
[06:39.16]The moonlight it was dancing
[06:42.75]On the waves, out on the sea
[06:47.04]The stars of heaven hovered
[06:51.04]In a shimmering galaxy
[06:53.88]
[06:54.66]A voice from down the ages
[06:58.94]So in haunting in its song
[07:02.95]The ancient stones will tell us
[07:07.01]Our love will make us strong
[07:11.13]
[07:43.08]
[08:03.89]
