the last day's done and now the first new one!
rejoice...friend or stranger!.....and remember

the first promise  you made to me, to be
yourself completely and now here you are

on  the mountain and looking  humbly down
to where the pilgrims are moving slowly

each on his  own special sacred journey
and each one exactly like you and me!

the war that has come  here shall last and last
but nothing can outlast eternity

no, nothing can outlast eternity
no, nothing can outlast you and me
