Across space and time, like a delicate web
On the large loom of life, with a silver-like thread
Is woven a garment for people to wear -
It's the clothing of culture, the spirit we share.
Spinnings of music, weavings of dance
Stitches of history, patterns of chance
Fusions of fibre, mixtures of trait
Clashes of colour, designings of fate
Joining the past and the future to be
Through stories and rituals and visions and dreams
Forming knots of tradition and braidings of blood -
This cultural tapestry is the life that we love
