In the same motion each component moves alike
The wind moves us in the same direction, like a waltz we glide

We're taking strides
We're taking strides

We are the strands of many
But together as one we're tied
When we breathe, we breathe winds of the holy
When we drink, we drink of the same spirit

Oh, what an exquisite piece of artistry
Completed with deep strokes of diversity
Thread by thread, seams are sewn with amity
Holding up the one, the head of divinity

No cast of class, none richer nor poorer
Origins from the four corners, fingerprint of every blood

The earth groans in agony
So we build, build this eternal body
Thorns and thistles still grow between rows
So we build, build until creation knows

We're taking strides
We're taking strides


Feet fail me not
Stick to the narrow
Eyes, don't grow fatigued
See through the dark night
Cataracts, seek the light
Watch for the morning
We share in ruin as we share in life
Together we thrive, divided we die

Ears, don't fall numb
The call still whispers
Heart, don't grow weary
Keep persevering, holding true
Yielding love, this will heal nations
We share in ruin as we share in life
We are the body and we are alive

We are alive

We are the body
We are the body

We're taking strides
We're taking strides
