Unity binds all earth's divines
Rejoice in the wonders of those who came before:
Sing praises to their will and their endurance,
Extol their monuments that proclaim our divinity,
And express the virtues of our being.
In them we see the spirit of humankind and its potential,
For in them we are united in Oneness with our forefathers
And through them with those yet to come.

Rejoice in the wonders of those who came before:
Sing praises to their will and their endurance,
Extol their monuments that proclaim our divinity,
And express the virtues of our being.
In them we see the spirit of humankind and its potential,
For in them we are united in Oneness with our forefathers
And through them with those yet to come.
At Ur and saqqara, Giza and Knossos,
At Anyang and Zhengzhou, Boghazkoy and Yazilikaya,
Their glory remains, their spirit endures,
Their search continues in our search for them.
In pain and suffering, in dream and desire even
The lowliest of those who went before
Are manifest in stone.
In stories repeated over eons of time,
In cities lost beneath sweeps of sand,
In temples buried in forest and swamp,
In shrines sunk below the waters of the sea
We see ourselves mirrored in quest and journey,
A legacy and testament to the unity of being.
Let us give praise to our fathers and mothers
Whose gifts we bare, whose memories we inherit,
That we may pass to our children and they to theirs
The dreams that give hope,
The testaments that give expression,
The monuments that manifest,
And the will that endures.
In this we find the unity that binds all earth's divines.
