1. Across the bridge of fates unknown we venture, leaving childhood ways, to make decisions on our own, for good or ill, for blame or praise. 2. We'll walk with friends we can admire, whose words and deeds with ours combine to move ambition and desire in harmony with love divine. 3. The keys of freedom, strength, and hope we gladly claim, and set our heart to find, unlock and test the scope of beauty, science, skill and art. 4. We'll seek the truth, expose the shame of hatred, prejudice, and greed, and nail the lies that try to blame the poor and hungry for their need. 5. We bless the Spirit, deep within, that names us lovely, full of worth, and sing for joy as we begin to work for good, and tend the earth.
