With broken hearts we hold the line

With broken hearts we tremble

With broken hearts and broken minds

we shall forev'r assemble.

That hateful deed,

the blood thus spilled,

in name of rage and hate,

it shall not be forgotten

and time will make us great.

And though we stagger

and though we fall

and though with bright blood flashing

the hearts of those we leave behind

another world will fash'n.

No longer quiet, no longer mild,

their anger and their sadness,

will change the world we left for good.

Their love will halt this madness.

The fight for peace,

the fight for love,

the fight for understanding,

these are the things we wept and cried

and now have died for, dancing.

Though we now rest,

you must fight on;

you must not let them break you.

Rebuild the world we left behind

and make us proud; we love you.
