Oh my child all your pain
I’ve seen your tears I know your name
You don’t have to carry it alone
When tragedy befalls who will hear the call
Standing where the sun and shadows meet
More than wrong and right we need to reconcile
Blessed are the makers of the peace
Oh my child see my scars
We all have pain though none the same
We don’t have to carry it alone
Humanity a symphoney
Of tragedy and misery
Doesn’t have to be the future of us all
When tragedy befalls who will hear the call
Standing where the sun and shadows meet
More than wrong and right we need to reconcile
Blessed are the makers of the peace
Here we stand on hallowed ground
Where blood’s been spilled
And Hearts cried out
For Peace on earth goodwill for all
For eyes to see all dignity
