Good men come forward now
A world in need...Indeed
Uphold your sacred vow
We long for you to lead

Kind women of the land
Many children cry...die
Come lay your gentle hand
Upon the heads who sigh

Small children of the earth
Destined eyes of women...men
May your visions give birth
To a peace without end.

Pasquale DiMeola
