the papal balcony opened
to the world waiting for Jesus' like-man
he came, a humble Jesuit named Francis.
A gift of hope to me and to us
to the poor, the lame, the world wounded
by inhumanity, sin and lovelessness
our prayer shall sustain the new pope.
Let the world unite and pray together
let all men and women, children and old
faiths unite and be one
under the banner of God who is love.
