We’re not down on our knees, we’re not praying, We’re not asking you please, we’re just saying: Give us peace now and peace to hold on to And God give us some reason to want to Dona nobis, Dona nobis, We’ve got quarrels and qualms and such questions, Give us answers, not psalms and suggestions. Give us peace that we don’t keep on breaking, Give us something or we’ll just start taking! Dona nobis, Dona nobis. You worked six days and rested on Sunday. We can tear the whole mess down in one day. Give us peace now and we don’t mean later. Don’t forget you were once our creator! Dona nobis, Dona nobis. We’re fed up with your heavenly silence, And we only get action with violence, So if we can’t have the world we desire, Lord, we’ll have to set this one on fire! Dona nobis, Dona nobis. ~ Leonard Bernstein: excerpt from Agnus Dei, from Mass: A Theatre Piece for Singers, Players, and Dancers
