May You Never Be the Same

Rise, oh captive, from thy grave
Count thyself as not a slave
Quicken as the rising song
Hold within one beating strong
Listen to the sound

Break, oh heart, from they bonds
Here arrayed the light of dawn
Carry on as none before
Far beyond the distant shore
Break the fertile ground

Breathe, oh spirit, mountain air
Upon the peak in winded hair
Drink of waters from the deep
May you ever thirsty keep
Know your true name

Live, oh soul, come alive
True of heart, be free and thrive
Run with all that you hold dear
Falter not of any fear
May you never be the same
