[Verse 1]
Non nobis solum
Sed toti mundo nati
Toti mundo nati
Boys' choir
Non nobis solum
Sed toti mundo nati

[Chorus]
Ah, ah
(war, ah)

[Verse 2]
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)

[Verse 3]
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]

[Verse 4]
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

Paul McCartney

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
