The following is words of a song. (A text of Japanese song was translated into English)
==The flower of hope
The bond that ties us together
“They“ lie within our hearts now
Our power to live on
will never wilt away
The flower of hope
The bond that ties us together
It will give us strength
to bloom powerfully tomorrow
there is no place to turn back to
Go to the place we must reach
Raise an unwavering flag
And live in the moment
==“They“ denotes the flower and the bond?
I had thought that ‘the flower’ is an apposition to ‘the bond.’
So, it seemed to me that ‘That’ should be a substitute for ‘They.’
