We Are Bound -

Eastern sun, Southern fire

Western rain, Northern star:

Circled within

Kith unto kin

We are bound

Walk we now through this glade

As our ancestor made

Here lies revealed

Our truths concealed:

We are bound

Sea and stone

Salt and loam

Hearth and home

In us resounding

Oh, pressed are we

To be slaves unto men

Oh, yet we be

Blessed beyond mortal ken

Oh, to be freed

And reborn once again--

We are bound

To your tasks lay your hands

Though we tread foreign lands

Still we may part:

Heart unto heart

We are bound

Sea and stone

Salt and loam

Hearth and home

In us resounding

Oh, severed still from the land we adored

Oh, of one wil, of one love of the Lord

By the cup, by the cross, by the sword

We are bound

Sea and stone

Salt and loam

Hearth and home

In us resounding
