I’m the morning star
I look lovely at sunset
Unison my goal

The 60s came and they declared You dead.
For a time many might have believed it.
But events transpiring ever since
have only convinced me that You are —
and always will be —
that still small voice inside.

Peace and love have gone
Division has gone viral
So I turn to You

No left and no right
I exist at the centre
My family first
My community second
Building blocks of the nations
