The City Eternalcountry as flag
Eternal shall this land be free, from war and strife, to ever be.
A land where each one's hand shall grasp, the Moslem,
Christian, Jew hold fast... United Nations hold real tight, to see
and do for all that's right... Eternal City shall we say, for all to
see a brighter day... In Middle East we ask for peace, and in
this way shall bring release... Too many delve in hate and shake
their fist... This is the way we can't exist... Not shake the fist;
should extend the hand, to make all people understand.
There is no war that's ever won, no problems solved, it's never
done... Take heed, the World, for all's at stake... Forever always
make mistake... From far in past should learn to live, and to all
people compassion give... To ages dark we shall return, then
once again the Universe churn... Why can't it be, we're all the
same, each Nation, Race, just fixed in name... All blood runs
red, for all to see, from shore to shore, from sea to sea.
For every Nation sun shines bright, and even blessed moon
at night... Where boundaries start, or boundaries end, where
foe begin, or where be friend... There is no boundary in this life,
so why the hate, the fear, the strife... To love a life, a life to love,
it's what's been chosen from above... This be the answer, the
choice we choose, if not be so were all to lose.
This is the way most World does feel, not from people rob and
steal... This is the way the World must face.
Or down we go, each Nation, Race.
