As the sun begins to rise

The corpses of war start to fade

As hope seals the horizon

The roots of peace start to be laid

As the people emerge from their homes

Their sense of fear start to disappear

Replaced by a feeling of blithe

By a firm sense of purpose

For what is there to fear in —

A world rid of the laws old

With the sun ever shining

In its autumn like tint of gold

As the bird soars through the skies

In its own world as it cries –

The song it has sung since its birth

The song of hope and its worth

The people surge through the field

All their fear under the earth sealed

As their bodies fight the cold

For a new era to unfold

An era of peace and integrity

Of love and serenity.
