Book IV: After the Flood
Chapter III: Ring the Bell Tower


GENERATIONS

Let each generation come
Fathers, daughters, mothers and sons
Within them, allow there to be peace and love.
Let each bond grow strong and true
Give respect and kindness to all
Let each hand grasp another
Give each soul the power to face and defeat its fears.
Let joy not sadness sustain us.
Allow each heart to give these gifts with hope and trust.
Let life begin and end in love.
Fathers, daughters, mothers and sons
Let each generation go.

May Hope Be Passed Through Every Hand
