lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stained glass, spectral vibrations of time
Hushed rows, calm recitations revive

Extend, hands and pass peace and light
Blood and flesh, consume in honor of life

[Verse 2]
Wide robes, undulate freely, passionately
Swaying, voices with chest and vitality

Speak back, receive and return that same energy
Feel those, vibrations of reverence and legacy

[Verse 3]
Abundance of forest and sky—so drive and drive
Just to keep going

Perhaps it’s the dream that’s a lie—but dammit
We’re gonna keep trying

[Verse 4]
Northword ride
City of our people, city of our people

Feel alive
Schools, churches, families, this is what life can be

We arrived from the south to strive
City of our people, city of our people

Among ours we more than survive
Schools, churches, families, this is what life can be
