Current song lyrics
From bitter searching of the heart,<br>Quickened with passion and with pain<br>We rise to play a greater part.<br>This is the faith from which we start:<br>Men shall know commonwealth again<br>From bitter searching of the heart.<br>We loved the easy and the smart,<br>But now, with keener hand and brain,<br>We rise to play a greater part.<br>The lesser loyalties depart,<br>And neither race nor creed remain<br>From bitter searching of the heart.<br>Not steering by the venal chart<br>That tricked the mass for private gain,<br>We rise to play a greater part.<br>Reshaping narrow law and art<br>Whose symbols are the millions slain,<br>From bitter searching of the heart<br>We rise to play a greater part.<br>
