Centre for Human Ecology: Building Stone Upon Stone

For many moons have gathered now

People from different lands

Around a table carved from wood

Searching to understand

Why we choke the Earth and Sky

The Rivers and the Seas

And why there is injustice still

Through social inequity

 

We've travelled over land and sea

And around the jewel of Eire

With its walls of stone and sacred sites

And people to inspire

Our pilgrimage across the hills

Is also one within

For we know before the world can change

With ourselves we must begin

 

When we go our different ways

We'll take all that we've learned

And try to realise the better world

For which we yearn

And the Celtic knot may join us still

Through the vision that we share

That all life is connected and

Needs our love and care

 

We have grown, we have grown

Building stone upon stone

A foundation of hope for tomorrow

We have grown, we have grown

And though our future's unknown

Every ending is just another beginning
