Ripples of the Past

In the ground that we're breaking

In the hours we're waking

We feel connected through the ripples of the past

From the music worth making

To the bread that we're baking

We feel connected through the ripples of the past

Let us not forsake the forebears who have gone

As their memory is foundational to the work we carry on

Every strife echoes like phases of the sun

From the roads that we're paving

To attachments we're craving

We are connected through the ripples of the past

In the truth that we're saving

Persecution we're staving

We are connected through the ripples of the past

Let us not forsake the forebears who have gone

As their memory has implications for the work that must be done

Every struggle faced has once before been won

Every mountain we're climbing

Moments we are defining

We stay connected through the ripples of the past

In the light we keep shining

And the love we're refining

We stay connected through the ripples of the past
