Have not the strongest And closest ties been bound so long I've called upon them They remind me where I'm from With deep conviction I am connected cross the miles With out them nothing worth relying on It's been so long since I could say I've needed anything stronger We can't be wrong when we have ties that bind us If I rely and I know the strength In those who taught me of the Power in the ties that bind When I turn inward And look for strength within my self And demonstrations of courage Are the result If inspiration is wholly shared Then more is the gain Then I will follow The selfless actions displayed We are made powerful
