Lyrics

Bound by love

Verse 1: Gather 'round, dear ones, on this solemn day, To bid farewell in a joyful way. Though tears may fall, let our hearts be strong, For in our love, we'll forever belong.

Chorus: In the Cordic spirit, we stand as one, Through the laughter and tears, our bonds are never undone. In this circle of life, we find our strength, Family and friends, our eternal treasure, at arm's length.

Verse 2: Remember the moments, the stories we've shared, Through trials and triumphs, how we've always cared. Though a loved one's gone, their spirit lives on, In the memories we cherish, like a heartfelt song.

Chorus: In the Cordic spirit, we stand as one, Through the laughter and tears, our bonds are never undone. In this circle of life, we find our strength, Family and friends, our eternal treasure, at arm's length.

Bridge: So raise your voices, let the hymn resound, A celebration of love, forever profound. With hearts united, we honor the departed, For their presence in our lives, deeply imparted.

Chorus: In the Cordic spirit, we stand as one, Through the laughter and tears, our bonds are never undone. In this circle of life, we find our strength, Family and friends, our eternal treasure, at arm's length.

Outro: As we say our goodbyes, let's remember with cheer, The love and support that we hold dear. In this Cordic community, forever we'll be, United by love, for eternity.
