Give me strength to retain
What my fathers brought forth
Hold no scars on their memory
No regret for the truth they had founded
Never more this tragedy
.
Forsaken few, they're left with nothing
No longer hold them down
.
Hands once tied now empower my enemy
A common thread that oppression believes
The grand design （grand design） ends in tyranny
The cost of safety's paid when no one is free
.
Forsaken few, they're left with nothing
No longer hold them down

Believe this truth we're wrong to trust them
No longer hold them down
.
It's come, down through the ages
Don't let it fall away, don't let it fall away
This gift, down through the ages
Don't let it fall away, don't let it fall away
.
Our greatness is our proof
They know these words are true
.
Believe this truth we're wrong to trust them
No longer hold them down
.
It's come, down through the ages
Don't let it fall away, don't let it fall away
This gift, down through the ages
Don't let it fall away, don't let it fall away
.
It's come, down through the ages
Don't let it fall away, don't let it fall away
This gift, down through the ages
Don't let it fall away, don't let it fall away
