life so strong so abundant
taken away by rain and flood
nothing but life is important
even worth risking for blood

we are heroes of war
we have cheated death
and survive the horror
even if tears had already set

for we know that its not just for a moment
that we had struggle for life that is darkened
we shall see a new life ahead
and rebuild everything for the dead

we are not strong when alone
but we are when in a nation
lead the flags of life to be risen
to guide those who have fallen

stick and stones may the start
as long as we take our part
a strong castle shall be build
with strong arms we shall wield

we can surpass this as we know it
just keep walking the road of hate
until we see the arms of faith
that we will be embrace for love and faith

wind may howl like a wolf
rain will be thief that stills life
earth shall be the juggernaut of death
but no, we shall not fear but continue
for life is what we pursue

we are strong we have strength
rebuild the nation even we spent
the blood of those who died
shall the new nation will strive

do not fumble, do not fear
for with our love shall be near
don't forget but repent
for this is the time to be mend

we are strong as we may be
that what other nation would see
that in these bruising arms and feet
we shall meet them and greet
