BOY SOLO

Non nobis solum
|
Sed toti mundo nati,
|
Toti mundo nati.
|
|
BOYS' CHOIR
|
Non nobis solum
|
Sed toti mundo nati.

|
CHORUS
|
(Ah), 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.
