Should Jonathan and John fall out
The world would stagger from that
bout:
With John and Jonathan at one
The worlds great peace viii have be-
gun.
With Jonathan and John at war
The hour that havoc hungers for
VIII strike in ruin of blood and tears
The world set back a thousand years.
With John and Jonathan sworn to
stand
Shoulder to shoulder. and hand by
hand
Justice and peace shall build their
throne
From tropics seas TO frozen zone.
When Jonathan and John forget
The scar OF an ancient wound 10 fret.
And smile To think OF an ancient feud
Which the God of the nations turned to
good.
When the bond of a common creed and
speech
And kindred blinds them each to each,
And each i'm the others victories
The pride of his own achievements
secs
How paltry thing they both will
know
That grudge of hundred years ago
How small that bemish of wrath and
blame
In the blazonry of their common fame.
