The Sound of the Rising Tide We children of the Earth Scattered far and wide We heard the call, the distant call the mighty call, of the of the rising tide And our hearts aflame with remembering a memory beyond recall We came to build A community of love To learn, to train, to serve To embrace all our pain And though we stumble and fall we vow never to abandon Our community, our path And you, our teacher We walk for you, for our forbears and descendants and on the long road each step becomes legend Long did we seek, long did we wander On lonely paths, and broken roads until we found you Our teacher of old And not in vain, our fallen tears Now rain of new hope together again We’ll go on, Our trust restored, our faith renewed Our anger calmed, our joy reborn, Many hearts one aspiration Side by side in times of joy, and through despair in times of light and through the darkness We release all our afflictions heal and transform Oh, children of the earth brothers and sisters now let us go forth together to live the holy life with the earth our mother as witness to the strength of our vow And we’ll bring back the refreshing spring To the mountains and to rivers, Rising thunder, cresting waves, We go on And we will cross the valley, Of birth and death To find you, And look once more in your eyes In the ancient forest, the old path white clouds overhead, We stand together smiling to the mystery All sorrows at an end All fear forsworn, Compassion springs anew Great love is in our hearts In the vast sky, both sun and moon, are lighting our way And our hearts aflame with remembering A memory beyond recall the sound of the rising tide (4x)
