Today is ours, let us live it.
And love is strong, let us give it.
A song can help, let us sing it.
And peace is dear, let us bring it.
The past is gone, let us not rue it.
Our work is here, let us do it.
The world is wrong, let us right it.
If evil comes, let us fight it.
The road is rough, let us clear it.
The future is vast, let us not fear it.
If faith is asleep, let us wake it.
Opportunity is here, let us take it.

Medicine but not health.
Pleasure but not happiness
Position but not respect.
Religion but not salvation.
