Going forward, not looking back
Leaving badness in the past
Let no one be carried
On a bed of sadness
But
Rejoice, go forward
Pursuing happiness.

The quarry is dead!
No more dread
It is dead.
No black hole down
To the depths of coal
Down pass where water flows.
The quarry is dead I said
The fight was won
They’ve taken their greed
Moving on.
No more dread
But instead a land lovely
To be farmed for an eternity
We hope it to be.
The quarry is dead!
No more dread
Let us rejoice
Rejoice instead
The quarry is dead.

What makes it whole?
What makes it right?
Don’t know the answer on this night.
Striving to
Striving to be
The answer for all that need to see
Healthy, wholesome power and strength
Demure gentle carrying those in need.
We will rejoice
We will succeed
In making whole this life that’s right
For you and right for me.

Small and quiet
Liberal and free
I’d like to think
This is me.
Smile a lot
Exercise and be
Part of the world
That likes to be me.
No one can do things
Just like me
So celebrate, rejoice
In being me.

Here we are in all our glory.
Feeling the warmth of our universe.
Smile, rejoice for everything you’ve been given.
