Not by might and not by power

But by spirit alone,

Shall we all live in peace.

The children sing,

The children dream,

And their tears may fall but we'll hear them call

And another song will rise,

Another song will rise,

Another song will rise.

Not by might and not by power

but by spirit alone,

shall we all live in peace.

The children sing,

The children dream,

And their tears may fall but we'll hear them call

And another song will rise,

Another song will rise,

Another song will rise.

Not by might and not by power

but by spirit alone,

shall we all live in peace.

Not by might.

Not by power.

Shalom.
