Let us celebrate the goodness of Man
The higher qualities and noble deeds
Let all people rejoice with poems and songs
For that’s what this weary world surely needs
Let’s think of what’s kind, all that’s beautiful
Though burdens of sorrow render it hard
The weight of cold darkness can be lifted
To warm hearts and souls of those sorely scarred
So let us make a conscious decision
To magnify all that’s good, and rejoice
Though life’s troubles will be cast upon us
Triumph over suffering is our choice
