pierce the darkness
the blanket of night
knock holes in the darkness
the world alight
carry the light
down the street
across our nation
out into the world
knock holes in the darkness
that all may see the light
share the vision
our belief in love
all of us equal
endowed by God
all of us children
neighbors, as one
knock holes in the darkness
to share the light
from the beginning to the
end
to the ends of the earth
