Movement I - War

BOY SOLO

Non nobis solum

Sed toti mundo nati,

Toti mundo nati.

BOYS' CHOIR

Non nobis solum

Sed toti mundo nati.

CHORUS

(Ah), Ah

SHANTY

The air raid siren slices through

A night in 1942.

A couple sheltering in the gloom

Know all too well this waiting room

For often they have in the past

Been huddled close against the blast

Of doodle bugs and bombs galore,

They can't put up with any more.

So it was that I was born

Into this world one summer morning

And breaking through this brand new day

I hear the sound of warning.

CHORUS

(War, Ah)

SHANTY

Oh will it all end here?

Or is their future round the corner?

You'll be forgiven if you're down on your knees.

What will it be what will it?

What will we be what will we?

What will we see what will we see?

They stay in darkness underground

Until they hear the All Clear sound

And weary eyes will search the sky

For any sign of sunlight.

For any sign of sunlight.

CHORUS

Mother and father holding their child,

Not knowing what future magic lies inside.

We open our hearts,

You open the door

To peace and happiness for evermore,

For us for evermore.
