The invisible foe revealed itself,

slipping through the cover of night,

inflicting every corner of the globe

with suffering, misery and blight

Yet it took this thing so very very small,

a tiny speck, a little strand.

something the people could not even view,

to finally see, to finally understand.

As they heard that old voice,

whispering wise from skies deep blue

It was then that they remembered,

what was central, vital and true

The true heroes among them

wearing cap, glove and gown,

where unseen were they before

now rightfully receive the crown

And the darkness was lifted!

And the light poured through!

the chests of the people breathed free again

the lungs of the world breathed clean again

Then folk from across the four corners

the six cradles, the seven shores,

slowly emerged from their quarters

gathering in circles to merrily sing.

They set out together,

to build a New World most better.

and what was once seven,

Rose Up to become One

One song to sing

One bell to ring

One hope to bring

in the people’s New Spring
