Together we are strong, together we carry on,
And together we believe in the power of love.
Together we are bold, together a faith we hold,
And together we will rise in the power of love.
We see so many walls dividing us,
Walls made of pain and broken hearts.
We need each other to break them down.
Lead the way with love, they will fall.
Together we are strong, together we carry on,
And together we believe in the power of love.
Together we are bold, together a faith we hold,
And together we will rise in the power of love.
We hold each other in dark times.
We are the keepers of a flame.
This light we kindle will shine through the night.
We will share the hope, heal the pain.
Together we are strong, together we carry on,
And together we believe in the power of love.
Together we are bold, together a faith we hold,
And together we will rise in the power of love,
In the power of love.
