On Morning Star, my eyes’ delight,
I make this wish with all my might;
That children everywhere were taught
That they were precious, loved and sought;
That ‘hungry’ was an unused word,
And voices of the weak were heard;
That war was just a distant dream,
And people were just what they seem;
That Truth was held in high regard,
And Justice served the poor and scarred;
That medicine could cure disease
And hurricanes were just a breeze;
That hearts would see their neighbour’s worth,
And Love would glow across this earth –
O Morning Star, as you shine bright,
I make this wish with all my might…
