Independence 78

 Charbel, pick up your rosary and pray.

For we have nought to celebrate today

As prices soar but wages stay the same

And those in charge still play their dirty game


We turn to you to intercede for us. 

We have been let down by the frequent fuss

And hope that man on earth will make a change.

But now our country seems a place so strange 


Fires of faith seem dimmed with weariness

And worry- there is little happiness.

The bird from its ashes ceases to soar

Rising inflation makes Lebanon sore.


Charbel, pick up your rosary and pray.

For Lebanon we pray with you today.

That faith and hope and will shall never die

And all believe the phoenix still will fly.
