Heritors of Arcadia
On an ocean of stars,
Lo an angel they see
Untouched by the war that they waged
Laid low by their scars,
A people wounded but free
Seeking what lies beyond this dark age
The seasons they turn,
Winter to spring
Dulling the pain and erasing the sting
The seasons turn
Summer to fall;
Time's warm embrace begins to heal all
On the wild of first light,
The jasper lion will run
Hark an anthem he drums, can you hear?
The people fresh from the night,
Rise and listen as one
The land they were promised is near
And though I am gone,
Just ash in the wind
On life surrendered so yours can begin
Courage my children,
This is your song
I am the earth, I will make you strong
A world riven by pride repaired at last
And now its makers can be at rest,
Our vision come to pass
The seasons they turn,
Memory fades
But when my name has been lost to the grave
I will sustain you,
Year after year
I will protect you when dangers appear
And though I am gone,
Just ash in the wind
On life surrendered so yours can begin
Courage my children,
This is your song
I am the earth, I will make you strong
Lo an angel they see
Untouched by the war that they waged
Laid low by their scars,
A people wounded but free
Seeking what lies beyond this dark age
The seasons they turn,
Winter to spring
Dulling the pain and erasing the sting
The seasons turn
Summer to fall;
Time's warm embrace begins to heal all
On the wild of first light,
The jasper lion will run
Hark an anthem he drums, can you hear?
The people fresh from the night,
Rise and listen as one
The land they were promised is near
And though I am gone,
Just ash in the wind
On life surrendered so yours can begin
Courage my children,
This is your song
I am the earth, I will make you strong
A world riven by pride repaired at last
And now its makers can be at rest,
Our vision come to pass
The seasons they turn,
Memory fades
But when my name has been lost to the grave
I will sustain you,
Year after year
I will protect you when dangers appear
And though I am gone,
Just ash in the wind
On life surrendered so yours can begin
Courage my children,
This is your song
I am the earth, I will make you strong
