1. We thought that you would help us,
A thought in which we found certainty.

2. We did not know who would be
The one to help and be helped.

3. Do not think sustenance is a ladder
Or neglect war when it wanes.

4. Time has no price,
Yet we deemed it precious.

5. Say what you wish in the nights,
Praising songs made the uncouth graceful.

6. When you see beauty, expect
Its opposite ugliness in its wake.

7. None remains to thank but God
For the world and faith He gave us.
