Free Nationals Lyrics

We are the children and one father
We are all interconnected as human beings, united by a common bond and a shared origin.

Provided for by his care
We are all sustained by the care and support of the world around us, especially our loved ones.

Breast of one mother
We all come from the same source, and should therefore treat each other with the same care and compassion we would give to our own family.

And when you separate the world
In a world that often seeks to divide us, it's important to remember the connections that bind us together.

Remember the relation that bonded thee
We should always strive to maintain our connections with others, even in the face of challenges or differences.

To love and unity
The ultimate goal should be to foster love and unity amongst all people, regardless of background or circumstance.

And prefer not a stranger
Don't overlook the importance of the relationships you have with those closest to you, in favor of mere acquaintances or strangers.

Before thy own love
Prioritizing genuine connections and love with others is more important than seeking temporary satisfaction or fulfillment elsewhere.

If our brothers in adversity
We should always be ready and willing to help those in need, especially those closest to us who may be struggling.

Assist them
Helping others is an essential part of building strong, lasting relationships and cultivating a sense of community.

If our sister in trouble
Our love and support should extend not just to our immediate family, but to all those who may need it.

Forsake her not
We should always be there for those we care about, through thick and thin, and offer our support however we can.

So shall the fortunes of thy father
By building strong relationships and supporting each other, we can all benefit and thrive as a result.

Attribute to the support of us always
Our connections with others are an essential source of strength and support, helping us to overcome any obstacles or struggles we may face.

In his care we continue to evolve
By recognizing and embracing our interconnectedness, we can continue to grow and evolve as individuals and as a collective society.

In your love to each other
At the end of the day, love and compassion for each other is what truly sustains us and gives our lives meaning.

Live and direct from the ethers
This phrase serves as a reminder that these words and ideas are coming from a space beyond our physical reality, and that we should strive to look beyond the material and worldly in order to connect with others and find true fulfillment.
