At midnight on the dark clear winter night 
the light of glory from the eye of truth 
beams through rubble of the bomb-blasted town 
to luminate face of the new-born child 
who gazes at world of suffering and pain 
with heart that heals through attention of love. 

The young child born in the rubble of war 
will rise up high on Phoenix wings of hope 
to organize chaos of human fear 
through universal law of equal rights 
enforcing justice of earned liberty 
when she unites all religions in one. 

Though arrogant kings in towers of skulls 
preach superior strength of their nation-states 
the wise child born from rocket blast of rage 
will sustain United Nations of Earth 
to free all slaves from offices of greed 
so we live as we will if we harm none. 

Around our child in the rubble of war 
angels and demons on wings of lost faith 
protect her spirit from greed of mad kings 
who exhaust themselves in paranoid fear 
attempting in vain through harsh tyranny 
to control the minds of free human souls. 

Our child born in the rubble of despair 
wears countless masks of the Many-Faced God 
in thousands of children orphaned by hate 
who survive trauma of exploding words 
so they clear away all the broken bricks 
that fall when the wall crumbles to dust. 

When the light of glory shines on her face 
where she stands on the one-eye pyramid 
lost refugees from nations of the Earth 
gather with nothing but hope in their hearts 
around our child in the rubble of faith 
to share her vision of justice for all.
