"We fought the good fight"

We fought the good fight
Fought the uncaring world; we against all

And still the world said, "No."

In our hearts we believed we were right

Right and steadfast against all

And still the world said, "No."

We had no weapons, none of bite

It was right and justice that became our call

And still the world said, "No."

It will be time and time's might

That will show that life and life alone is all

And if the world says once more, "No."

We will say far more—far more—than simply: "No."
