Dame Kiri Te Kanawa & Sally Burgess & Jerry Hadley & Willard White & Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Choir & Choristers of Liverpool Cathedral - Peace - text písně

Shanty sings to his new-born child, celebrating the wonder of being. In a sermon, the preacher sings of the frail magic of family life as Mary Dee and Shanty pledge a future with their child, together forever, celebrating a love that will now survive.

Shanty:
And so it was that you were born
into this world one winter morning
with a childish innocence you smiled at me
and I was born again.

Boy solo:
Non nobis solum sed toti mundo

Boys' choir:
Nati, mundo nati.

Boy solo:
Toti mundo nati.

Men's chorus:
God is good and he will be our saviour
all we need is in his power to give us
let the light that lies within his heart
illuminate our being.

Full chorus:
God is good and with this thought to guide us
we will live in joyful contemplation
let the love that lives within your heart
illuminate your being.

Preacher:
What people want is a family life
the strength of a home and a moat round the castle
pull up the drawbridge
staying at home with the family
all people want is a family life
sometimes they find that it isn't so easy
people can argue
life can be hard on a family.

Basses:
Mum's in the kitchen, she won't speak to dad.

Altos:
Uncle's ashamed of the good time he had.

Tenors:
Brothers and sisters are lifting the roof
with the music they play all night.

Preacher:
But people still want a family life
nothing replaces the love and affection
pull up the drawbridge
tempers are frayed, but it's like that.

Altos:
Don't be dismayed if it's like that.

Basses:
Like that.

Preacher:
You're not obeyed but you like that -family life.

Boys and altos:
God is good, in him we'll live for ever
satisfied inside his grace and glory.

Full chorus:
Safe and sound in his eternal love
we have found salvation.

Nurse:
Dad's in the garden, he won't speak to mum.

Mary Dee:
Mother.

Nurse:
Uncle's in bed with a pain in his...

Shanty:
The devil is evil

Preacher:
And god is good.

Mary Dee:
The devil is evil

Shanty:
With a d.

Mary Dee:
And god is good

Shanty:
Without an o.

Mary Dee and Nurse:
God is good without an o.

Shanty and preacher:
O...

Mary Dee and Nurse:
And so we are grateful for harmony
for we will be faithful

Shanty and preacher:
Eternally.

Mary Dee, Nurse, Shanty and preacher:
(ah)

Full chorus:
(ah)
God is good, the universal saviour
trust in him to lead us through the darkness
live in love and when the battle's won.

Mary Dee and Nurse:
Live in peace.

Shanty and preacher:
Live in peace.

Full chorus:
Live in peace for ever.

Solo quartet:
Live in peace.

All:
Live in peace together.

Shanty:
So on and on the story goes
from day to day throughout our lives.

Mary Dee:
What can we do, that's how it grows
I am with you.

Mary Dee and Shanty:
Our love survives.
