Out of the fallen trees we sing
Sing like we're losing everything
Lost and without a place to go
Sing for myself, it's all I know
Born to a brand new century
Sing for our sisters patiently
Born to a day that's just begun
Sing for our mothers and our sons
We sing for the voices never heard
Sing for the lessons we've still not learned
Sing for the peace we've never won
Sing for the work that's still not done
And if on our darkest days we cry
Sing 'til we put our fears aside
And if I feel myself begin to fold
Sing for myself, it's all I know
Sing for myself, it's all I know
