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

1942
A world at war. Sirens sound as bombs fall over Liverpool and despairing couples shelter underground. Amid the blaze and the chaos of an air raid, a child is born. And there is hope.

Boy solo:
Non nobis solum
Sed toti mundo nati,
toti mundo nati.

Boys' choir:
Non nobis solum
Sed toti mundo nati.

Chorus:
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.
