Lyrics
As performed in the video
Soaring skywards, leaping sideways
Do or die words cleave the air
Joy and laughter, mornings after
Raise the rafters, we don't care
If the roof's beyond repair
Raise the rafters, raise the rafters
Raise the rafters, we don't care
If the roof's beyond repair
Sisters, brothers, to all others
Let this be our guiding star
Hearts on fire but no Messiah
Hear the music from afar
What we sing is what we are
Hear the music, hear the music
Hear the music from afar
What we sing is what we are
Over hills and over valleys
Over mountains, over seas
Nations shouting unto nations
Until nations cease to be
Unison in harmony
Until nations, until nations
Until nations cease to be
Unison in harmony
Until nations, until nations
Until nations cease to be
Unison in harmony
