We are links
In an endless chain
We write songs
That won’t be tamed
We come from far
We come from wide
Together we sing
Together we rise

Which comes first?
Words or melody?
Songs show up
So mysteriously
Chords fit into
The mood of our times
We dance to rhythm
We breathe by rhyme

Nothing’s gonna stop
Our souls from transcribing
The love in our hearts
There’s no denying
Nothing’s gonna stop 
Stop us from singing
With a hope that never ceases
That’s always beginning

When the path 
We walk divides 
And if we never 
Meet again
We will sing 
Your sweet refrain 
We are links 
In an endless chain
