lyrics

Long have we travelled
Facing the sun
Chasing down glory
from battles hard won
Cadence and rhythms
Laughter and tone
Arced 'cross the skylines
And carried us home

Long have we lingered
Headlong in the storm
Once thought to have perished
But now are reborn
In the glow of the morning
Glazed by the dew
Gladdened by blessings
Us fortunate few

The world kept on turning
In the blink of an eye
Despite all we learned
In joy and duress
To simply get by.
We never surrendered
Or flinched in the fray
Long have we travelled
To be here today
Long have we travelled
To stand here today

Long have we travelled
What’s yet to come
Unwritten melodies
And ballads unsung
When the piper strikes up
We’ll answer the call
‘neath banner and heaven
Come thunder, come thrall
‘neath banner and heaven
Come thunder, come thrall
