(©Brooks Williams 1992)
All that is gold does not glitter
All who wander are not lost
The old that is strong does not wither
Deep roots are not touched by frost
From the ashes a fire shall be awoken
A light from these shadows shall spring
Those who bring peace shall not grow weary
Though the road be long they will find rest
Often the silence speaks the loudest
The unclenched fist is still the best
From the ashes a fire shall be awoken
A light from these shadows shall spring
Those who seek truth shall not be sorry
Those who hope shall find new sight
Happy are those who show mercy
A candle shines the brightest light
From the ashes a fire shall be awoken
A light from these shadows shall spring
All that is gold does not glitter
All who wander are not lost
The old that is strong does not wither
Deep roots are not touched by frost
All that is gold does not glitter
All who wander are not lost
The old that is strong does not wither
Deep roots are not touched by frost
