Though hands may part, the bond remains unbroken,
Though hands may part, the ties are never severed.
From time's own bough,
moments are not shaken.
Though hands may part, the bond remains unbroken.
Friends may depart, but friendship never ceases, Lord.
Friends may depart, but friendship never ceases, Lord.
Friends may depart, but friendship never ceases, Lord.

He who leaves no trace upon the path behind,
He who leaves no footprints on the sand,
Of that traveler,
we never inquire after, nor seek to find.
Though hands may part, the bond remains unbroken.
Friends may depart, but friendship never ceases, Lord.
Friends may depart, but friendship never ceases, Lord.
Friends may depart, but friendship never ceases, Lord.

You never called back, never turned your head,
You never called back, never looked our way,
Else for centuries,
we would have sought you, in every place, we would have sped.
Though hands may part, the bond remains unbroken.
Friends may depart, but friendship never ceases, Lord.
Friends may depart, but friendship never ceases, Lord.
Friends may depart, but friendship never ceases, Lord.

Towards you, the earth of our feet now flows,
Towards you, the earth of our feet does bend,
Weary now, of chasing
the rivers' flow, as the river goes.
Though hands may part, the bond remains unbroken.
Though hands may part, the ties are never severed.
From time's own bough,
moments are not shaken.
Though hands may part, the bond remains unbroken.
