How can it be that god is love?
  when blood rolls down upon our land
  and fathers lose their only son
  where is the hope?
  Oh god we pray for white ribbon day
  
  how can it be that you could love?
  when blood ran down that wooden cross
  your father gave his only son
  you came for peace
  you came to die for white ribbon day
  
  and we pray for peace
  to flood our hearts again
  only god can save our nation now
  and we long for joy to fill our streets again
  only god can save our nation now
  
  how can it be that god is just?
  when flesh is torn from young and old
  and children run in bloody fields
  where is the hope?
  Oh god we pray for white ribbon day
  
  and we pray for peace
  to flood our hearts again
  only god can save our nation now
  and we long for joy to fill our streets again
  only god can save our nation now
  
  hallelujah, hallelujah
  hallelujah for white ribbon day
  
  and can it be that you are just
  when flesh was torn for young and old?
  and here we stand saved by your blood
  we'll stand with courage
  we'll live and die for white ribbon day
  
  hallelujah, hallelujah,
  hallelujah for white ribbon day
