A Time to Savour
When fear melts like snow in the sun's warmth
and hope is a shining star
When impatience shrinks like clothes in a wash
and the eagle of tolerance bursts through the air
When the curtain of ignorance lifts
and the cobweb of prejudice dissolves
When the sea of ignorance ebbs away
and the beam of wisdom illuminates the way
When past misfortunes are forgotten memories
and wondrous thoughts merge with dreams
When the fire of hate becomes the love that consumes
and warm friendly smiles spread like sunbeams
When heavy wintry steps acquire a joyous spring
and the hands of friendship embraces all
When the smell of Peace pervades the Earth
and time has no meaning at all
That is the time to savour and cherish my friend
That is the time we wish would never end
and hope is a shining star
When impatience shrinks like clothes in a wash
and the eagle of tolerance bursts through the air
When the curtain of ignorance lifts
and the cobweb of prejudice dissolves
When the sea of ignorance ebbs away
and the beam of wisdom illuminates the way
When past misfortunes are forgotten memories
and wondrous thoughts merge with dreams
When the fire of hate becomes the love that consumes
and warm friendly smiles spread like sunbeams
When heavy wintry steps acquire a joyous spring
and the hands of friendship embraces all
When the smell of Peace pervades the Earth
and time has no meaning at all
That is the time to savour and cherish my friend
That is the time we wish would never end
