These Are The Words (From "Pope Francis: A Man of His Word")

Awake everyone, the dawn has come
Life is streaming from the sun
A garden blessed, the bird that sings
Nature gives us everything
Awake everyone, the time has come
To mend, to tend, our common home
To give our thanks, sow our seeds
Extend the hand to those in need
When the soul yearns for love
It comes flowing from above
Mercy, hope, humility
These are the words to live by every day
Walls will crumble, we arise
To work as one, abide, provide
Mercy, hope, humility
These are the words we whisper in our sleep
When in doubt the nights are long
Wear the smile, wear the sun
To comfort us when alone
Holding your heart, love will come
Walls will crumble as we abide
Restore the house, we shall provide
Love, compassion, unity
These are the words to live by every day
Awake everyone, the time has come
Life is streaming from the sun
Mercy, hope, humanity
These are the words
These are the words
These are the words
