Ode to Joy - after Beethoven

歌詞

We walked through fire, we crossed the rain We watched the world repeat its pain We drew the lines, we chose our sides And built our walls from fear and pride We heard the children asking why While smoke was rising through the sky And after everything we've done We're still beneath the same old sun If this is where the ending starts Then let it start inside our hearts Raise your voice into the light Let it break the endless night We are more than what we've lost More than every line we've crossed Take my hand and stand with me No more walls between you and me After all the tears we've known We don't have to stand alone This is our ode to joy No flag can tell us who to hate No ancient wound decides our fate No throne, no border, no decree Can make a stranger less than me We cannot change the blood we've spilled Or bring back every dream we've killed But while tomorrow still can come The song we're singing isn't done Let every bell across the earth Ring out for what a life is worth Raise your voice into the light Let it break the endless night We are more than what we've lost More than every line we've crossed Take my hand and stand with me No more walls between you and me After all the tears we've known We don't have to stand alone This is our ode to joy What will we leave behind For those who come after us? Another field of broken stones? Another reason not to trust? Or can we leave a different world Than the one that we were given? Not a promise made in heaven But a choice we make while living One voice Then another Stranger Sister Brother One heart Then another We are still here We are still here Raise your voice into the light Let a million voices rise From the ashes, from the scars We will carry who we are Take my hand and stand with me There is still a world to see After every war we've known We will never stand alone Let the old world hear the sound Let the walls come crashing down Not because the past is gone But because we carry on Raise your voice Raise it higher Through the darkness Through the fire We are here We are alive This is our ode to joy After the storm After the road After the judgment After it all We choose each other We choose tomorrow This is our ode to joy
