In the morning dawn
When it's not all clear
All you can hear is the silence
Of a fairy-like noise far away

In the morning dawn
When it's not all clean
All you have seen is the burying
Of a fairy-like bright early day

The Lord will bless this day
And our food
And the weapons of the enemy
In the neighborhood

The Lord will bless the victory
Of every fool with a gun
Thinkin' he can change the rule

God bless the day
God bless the day
God bless the day
God bless the day

Like one says
He will bless
And we will wait
For what he'll create
