We are all strangers
marching on to a place unknown
I met you already here
Am I a stranger to you
But there ...
Where you will also go
and find me already there
I am no stranger
is it the mark I now bear?
A message went out
without any reply
A call fell on live ears
and none paid heed to pick
A song of death was announced
and she did not hear the phrase: "my condolences"
And they that keep their promises of hope
shall have the heavens renew their strength
Come master builder come
Through to the end be the guide
Come fountain of love come
The upwell of terror and hate hide
Come from far and near come
That the dream of Amerigha be seen
Blessed be Amerigha oh blessed
Let every tongue and tribe resing
For that eye that once looked at you gaily
For that heart that sealed the peaceful pact
The head that helped you on that fateful day
The mind from which floweth all his grace
Above all this, his ever flowing fountain of love
All of which thou ought to be grateful all thy day
Should it be late for you to beat your thigh
Ahead in the ripeness of time
Awaits what er will betide
In the darkness of the night
Nor above, in the fullest of the single eye
If not now or soon, it might be someday
If you don't think twice
If you don't deal justly
