The fourth of November, a day for reason,

A tribute to wisdom, a tribute to air.

The measure of reason, a basis of growth,

Respect for nature, a strait of the earth.

*

Everyone needs it, but few have it left,

In a world where reason is sometimes so rare.

We think we know, we think we can,

But reason is rare, in woman and man.

*

So let us celebrate, with wisdom and peace,

The fourth of November, a day without battle.

The day of reason, a clear reminder,

To care for our world, and each other we have.
