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
