This ancient wound will be healed The blood that pours from the mouths Of the oppressed Will be stopped The thunder that rocks the bones of the weak Will be silenced The acrid smog that fogs young lungs Will be cleansed And the cancer that grips humble innards Will evaporate We the champions of destiny Will flower Our bodies will purify Even our minds Our vibrating essences Will reform our dwellings And peace will grow like a beautiful ornament
