Deep within our hearts dwells

the song of our destiny

when God laughed heartily

The earth now moans a dirge,

Creation cannot sing as one

for man has lost his melody

A hungry child, a dying sea

All foretold man has lost his memory

The song of his destiny

The whole world needs to sing and

dance the song of all creation

As God's one family

All people, earth and sky

The song of all people's       salvation

Earth's a fading glory and

man's become her enemy

We haven't learned to live in peace

with ocean, wind and trees

The Lord, our God Almighty hears the song of our misery

All His creatures great and small for delivery they call

The song of our ancestry lies deep in our memory
Fm7         Ab/Bb      Gm7            Cm7          Fm7    Ab/Bb
We still can sing along with all the earth her fading song

Abm7                    B/C#
With mother river and father hill
GbM7                          BM7
With brother eagle, sister daffodil
AbM7                    B/C#
To sing as one as on the day the world began
Ab/Bb      BM9                   Ab/Bb
When Yahweh sang with man 
(Repeat Refrain)

Bridge:
BM9           
Listen to the strains
    Ab/Bb
In your heart remains

The song of creation
      Ab/Bb
The song of our salvation
(Repeat Refrain)
