| 1 | I saw a golden bird | |
| 2 | Painted on the sky | |
| 3 | Breath of heaven and earth | |
| 4 | She shure knew how to fly | |
| 5 | She said "You can take my word— | |
| 6 | "Take it on faith; | |
| 7 | "Sure as the seasons turn | |
| 8 | "And the clouds bring rain | |
| 9 | "We rise from the fire | |
| 10 | "We sail through the storm | |
| 11 | "We rise through the fire | |
| 12 |
"Once more." |
|
| 13 | Our grandfathers walked this way | |
| 14 | Their grandfathers before | |
| 15 | 'Cross the mountains and the plains | |
| 16 | From shore to shore | |
| 17 | Their voices carry me | |
| 18 | Calling from the dust | |
| 19 | This testament and prophecy: | |
| 20 | We do what we must | |
| 21 | We rise from the fire | |
| 22 | We sail through the storm | |
| 23 | We rise from the fire | |
| 24 |
Once more |
|
| 25 | My blood | |
| 26 | Red blood | |
| 27 | Same as yours | |
| 28 | What's done | |
| 29 | Is done | |
| 30 | Of this I'm sure | |
| 31 | We will endure | |
| 32 |
And rise |
|
| 33 | I've got these golden wings | |
| 34 | This azure sky | |
| 35 | What I need of other things | |
| 36 | Just passes by | |
| 37 | Our heritage and history | |
| 38 | To this soul is burned | |
| 39 | Ashes scatter at my feet | |
| 40 | The spirit is returned | |
| 41 | We rise from the fire | |
| 42 | We sail through the storm | |
| 43 | We rise from the fire | |
| 44 |
Once more |
