Let's Sing out for the Beauty Let's Sing out for the Peace Let's Sing out with the Pride from within Let's Sing out for all Nations Let's Sing out for everyone Let's sing out for the Dream to come to Light Let's sing out with Love Tonight
Hold on to the Promise Hold on to the Dream Do not let your Spirit be tied Hold on to the Promise hold on to the Delight That all Nations can walk tall Proud and Strong And Let the Light of Freedom Shine on
Walk through the Land with Power and Pride Walk tall like our Fathers once done Let no one chain our spirits as we Dance neath the Moon and the Sun
Let's sing out for our Freedom Let's Sing out for our Pride All Nations now and Forever Walk Tall with Peace and Unite Let's Keep the Dream for Freedom Alive (Tony Kenyon 2009)
How are you? It's been a while since I came to say Hi. So here I am. What's new? Do you manage to have some rest, I'm on holidays . Haven't bought your album yet but I will for my Christmas gift .
Hope that everything is fine by your side. Take care and have fun Amarilys
Ignited with the Spirit to soar upon the wind Ignited by the dream of the Heart Ignited to stand tall and Proud As the song is shared by all
Could there be a new delight
As the Dawn awakes from her sleep Can we dance together as One Can we shine out with the joy of peace
Ignited by the Dream where the Spirit stands with Pride Ignited by the song as the Heart sings out into the night
The New Dawn Awakevs the Dream of the Spirit within For together we can Unite and sing the song upon the wind To ignite our Spirits together and sing the song of the wind
Could there be a New Tomorrow Could we Shine out From Today Could we Dance as a Nation with Love and Joy within Could we Share in the Freedom that Shines with the Stars above Could We dance with a New Horizon as are Hearts sing ever so Proud
Could there be a New Tomorrow Where all Nations Walk Hand in Hand Could we Shine out with the Spirit that Soars from within Could we Shower in the Dream that brings out Love Could we Dance in a New Tomorrow and hear the Song of Love
If we open up our Hearts and Open up our Eyes Could we truly Reflect upon the Dream of Life Could We Shine out from Within the Song from Above Could we Dance neath the Moon as the Stars shine Bright Above
Could we shine out for all with the dream of Peace and Love and Joy Could we all live in Harmony as all Nations Rejoice Could we Show the Love that was sent down from on high Could we Shine in a New Tomorrow as the Dream burns ever so Bright
