In an instant the stuff of nightmares happens,
And our world is plunged into chaos,
Hatred, fear, anger, swirling in seemingly unstoppable synergy,
It appears that the world has gone mad,
And all hope is lost,
And still…
And still heroes rise,
Hands held tight,
The people become one,
And songs of unity rise to the heavens on crystalline voices,
And the light unfailingly shines in the darkest of night,
Each soul a candle sharing its flame,
Illuminating the tears of the broken.
And still, life goes on,
Our hearts beating as one,
Instinctual, unstoppable,
Ever to the rhythm of hope.
Nous sommes un…we are one.
