[Verse 1] In the shadow of the fire Where the hopes of millions fell We made a vow to build a wall A fortress 'gainst the hell Not a promise of a paradise A utopia of grace But a shield to guard the future For the whole human race [Chorus] From the ashes of the battle Rose a covenant to hold A great testament to earthlings For all generations From 1945 Oh United Nations Hear the echo of the call The legacy of victors Who would never let us fall Not to lead us up to heaven But to stand for what is right And defend the walls of justice With the victors' guiding light [Verse 2] Through the decades we have witnessed Tempest rage and conflicts breed Planting seeds of dialogue Where hungry mouths must feed We are doctors in the crisis We are voices in the fray A stubborn, steady candle Lighting up the darkest way For the child who needs a classroom For the refugee's new start We are the threads of patience Weaving a united heart [Chorus] Oh United Nations Hear the echo of the call The legacy of victors Who would never let us fall Not to lead us up to heaven But to stand for what is right And defend the walls of justice With the victors' guiding light [Outro] Eighty years of turning pages With each challenge, scar and test This flawed and vital vessel Still pursuing what is best For it's not a marble tower But the will to understand This is our shared inheritance Across every land The enduring prize of peace Passed from that generation's hand The one that gave us this great vow Back in '45 Oh United Nations Hear the echo of the call This precious, lasting treasure For the future of us all Not just to guard from hell's abyss But for a world that's just and free To bear the torch that generations Pass to our century
