[00:00.81]From bitter searching of the heart
[00:03.88]Quickened with passion and with pain
[00:06.05]We rise to play a greater part
[00:10.43]This is the faith from which we start:
[00:13.95]Men shall know commonwealth again
[00:17.45]From bitter searching of the heart
[00:21.12]We loved the easy and the smart
[00:24.77]But now with keener hand and brain
[00:28.54]We rise to play a greater part
[00:32.62]The lesser loyalties depart
[00:34.76]And neither race nor creed remain
[00:38.82]From bitter searching of the heart
[00:42.04]Not steering by the venal chart
[00:45.08]That tricked the mass for private gain
[00:49.03]We rise to play a greater part
[00:52.78]Reshaping narrow law and art
[00:56.47]Whose symbols are the millions slain
[00:59.90]From bitter searching of the heart
[01:02.97]We rise to play a greater part
[01:32.24]This is the faith from which we start:
[01:37.51]Men shall know commonwealth again
[01:44.46]From bitter searching of the heart
[01:47.94]We rise to play a greater part
[02:00.56]The lesser loyalties depart
[02:04.79]And neither race nor creed remain
[02:11.64]From bitter searching of the heart
[02:16.99]We rise to play a greater part
[02:25.79]Reshaping narrow law and art
[02:31.03]Whose symbols are the millions slain
[02:36.21]From bitter searching of the heart
[02:39.87]We rise to play a greater part
[02:49.45]This is the faith from which we start:
[02:54.64]Men shall know commonwealth again
[03:02.56]From bitter searching of the heart
[03:06.65]We rise to play a greater part
[04:11.80]This is the faith from which we start:
[04:17.06]Men shall know commonwealth again
[04:21.94]From bitter searching of the heart
[04:25.73]We rise to play a greater part
[04:35.74]Not steering by the venal chart
[04:40.02]That tricked the mass for private gain
[04:46.29]We rise we rise to play a greater part
[04:59.39]Reshaping narrow law and art
[05:03.04]Whose symbols are the millions slain
[05:10.12]From bitter searching of the heart
