The identification of they

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.’

You may be right. But song writers usually do not care much about strict rules of grammar.
