text: Brothers and sisters listen to me
  These are the few things that I leave to thee
  This sword of our fathers with lessons hard taught
  This shield strong and sturdy from battles well fought
  This is your sword, this is your shield
  This is the power of love revealed
  Carry them with you wherever you go
  And give all the love that you have in your soul
  The times they are dark, darkness covers the earth
  This world’s filled with the beauty of God’s work
  Hold tight to your promise, stay righteous, stay strong
  For the days of miracles will come along
  Now this is your sword, this is your shield
  This is the power of love revealed
  Carry it with you wherever you go
  And give all the love that you have in your soul
  In the days of despair you can grow hard
  Till you close your mind and empty your heart
  If you find yourself staring in the abyss
  Hold tight to your loved ones and remember this
  This shield will protect your sacred heart
  This sword will defend from what comes in the dark
  Should you grow weary on the battlefield
  Do not despair our love is real
  This is your sword, this is your shield
  This is the power of love revealed
  Carry it with you wherever you go
  And give all the love that you have in your soul
  And give all the love that you have in your soul
