There will come a time when life becomes undying The lion will close his mouth and sleep in his den The raven and the crow will be silent that day For lack of prey the wolf will become thinner For dinner he'll eat herbs and grass It'll come to pass that the bear will rest with the doe The flow of the river will quench their thirst Their stomachs will burst not with food but with joy And man will no longer employ weapons of war Their girls and their boys will no longer weep They will keep their parents close to their hearts The darts and the bullets will no longer fly The sky will sing and the earth will know rest It will bless mankind with the tree of life Strife will cease and good will be the wine You and I will dine with our ancestors of old This story is told and written, it is coming and sure For those who endured through this fallen time With hearts that remained pure
