The Garden of Remberance

IN THE DARKNESS OF DESPAIR WE SAW A VISION
WE LIT THE LIGHT OF HOPE
AND IT WAS NOT EXTINGUISHED
IN THE DESERT OF DISCOURAGEMENT WE SAW A VISION
WE PLANTED THE TREE OF VALOUR
AND IT BLOSSOMED

IN THE WINTER OF BONDAGE WE SAW A VISION
WE MELTED THE SNOW OF LETHARGY
AND THE RIVER OF RESURRECTION FLOWED FROM IT

WE SENT OUR VISION ASWIM LIKE A SWAN ON THE RIVER
THE VISION BECAME A REALITY
WINTER BECAME SUMMER
BONDAGE BECAME FREEDOM
AND THIS WE LEFT TO YOU AS YOUR INHERITANCE

O GENERATIONS OF FREEDOM REMEMBER US, THE GENERATIONS OF THE VISION
