We knew when we began the fight
We all would not survive
But by risking our lives for others
We keep the dream alive
The dream that good will conquer all
And God will help us through
Reward us with eternal life
As we begin anew
I saw the face of God that day
As He led me to this place
His will, not ours, will be done
Accept this fact with grace
I understood, at once, that day
What we were sent here for
Watch over each other as best we can
For who could ask for more
Ten seconds is a very long time…
