- Soaring skywards, leaping sideways,
Do or die words cleave the air.
Joy and laughter, mornings after,
Raise the rafters we don’t care,
If the roof’s beyond repair.
Raise the rafters, raise the rafters,
Raise the rafters we don’t care,
If the roof’s beyond repair. - Sisters brothers, to all others,
Let this be our guiding star.
Hearts on fire but no Messiah,
Hear the music from afar.
What we sing is what we are.
Hear the music, hear the music,
Hear the music from afar.
What we sing is what we are. - Over hills and over valleys,
Over mountains, over seas.
Nations shouting unto nations
Until nations cease to be.
Unison in harmony.
Until nations, until nations
Until nations cease to be.
Unison in harmony. - All
