Sing each ye unto the world your own song, and sing it loud!
for every land has a call, every nation a melody; which all do sing so proud.
May you take the world into yon hands, handle it with care -
for all that God had made with such tender love, resides gloriously there.

This is my life, it may be my first, and it may be my last;
but how time goes, o it leaves so fast.
How I wish all I loved were here
if not physically, may their hearts always be near.
I want to stop time and stay here with you
but I know that's not possible, to love and love alone - just us two....
I've wished on lashes and clovers and stars
that I could destroy death and that life eternally would be ours.
