When the sun wakes to day
And birds chirp to say
When the sun recedes for the night
And the moon appears to light
Please prepare a mouth to announce calamities
As eyes of men close to atrocities
II
When dawn crawls into tears
From the whips of darkness’ fears
And day burns from the angry heat of the sun
When nature begrudges the harsh treatment of man
Please prepare a saving sun
To help fight their fearsome can
III
Because no matter how we look at it
There are starving pests amidst greedy kits
Because no matter how we detest to know
There are many innocents among the guilty
Because no matter how hard it gets
There are angels among demons
And You as the higher power, have the duty
To tamper justice with that needed mercy
