A NEW BEGINNING
Let us in unison march, our footprints lighting the path
From a world that wants to terminate your birth
To a universe that celebrates your arrival
That you who bring forth all humans to life
May keep the flame of humanity burning.
Let us write a new song, set to a new tune
From a library whose books have disintegrated
To a valley echoing with the sounds of violins
That you who are the first tutor of all
May teach compassion to all beings.
Let us arm you with words and swords
From a factory whose machines have rusted
To an office sparkling with ideas and innovations
That you God’s most supreme creation
May remould the world – your Today being Now.
