In they walked as boys and girls,
They carried pains, they carried scares.
They stood like lambs among the wolves
The shout of hope was whispered now.
Yet as they stood and as they sang,
They heard the ancient whisper cry
Of a love so strong that hate would die
And a peace so sweet that none would cry.
Some jumped who could not jump before,
Some laughed who could but cry before,
Some danced who lied in chains before.
Yet eternity did tremble,
When some fell in love with love itself
Who did not know this love before.
And now you men and women,
We pray you won’t lose your love,
But that the streets would glow forever bright
So stand up for hope, when none may stand.
