It was the saddest of years
In recent times
We pledged allegiance
With church bell chimes

But a child was born
And a child was wed
We wept for the injured
We wept for the dead

Spirit renewed by faith
Heightened patriotic zeal
Numb from this horror
We only now begin to feel

But a child was born
And a child was wed
We wept for the injured
We wept for the dead

Colors became our banner
A fight became our goal
But war comes with a price
And takes a deadly toll

But a child was born
And a child was wed
We wept for the injured
We wept for the dead

Our prayers are lifted up
In praise of worldly peace
End this inhumanity to man
In 2002, let hatred cease.
