A just peace must rise
after the crucible of terror
victory is only the first step
the entry into a new age…
A just peace must rise
to be safe within our spirits,
peace that passes understanding,
a just peace that will last…
A just peace must rise
from the terror, the carnage,
secure in our bodies, our lands,
safe from a new attack…
A just peace must rise
for there to be security,
the stain of war in the past,
never to rise again…
