We shall feast from the stories of this new celebration 

From the best of gourds rich with hints of oak 

And the voices from the Elders that feed the nation,

through endless valleys and complex routes .

We shall kiss new rivers that have blessed our land .

from the moments that proclaim a brand new dawn 

and create new legacies upon the sand 

beneath the blessings of the rising sun 

We share the fruits from your humble road

And the living seeds that breathe through time 

you have been a blessing to our growing homes

The thought – the Love – has left us kind
