O' where are you, you young Lochinvar?

So faithful in love, so dauntless in war.

We need you now, as we needed you then,

This is bit serious, if that was bit fun.


No damsels in distress, no prizes are here,

Someone is needed to wipe out the tear.

Warnings are plenty and cautions galore,

Before you begin it, Sir please, please be sure.

For knowledge is vital and things you should know,

That enemy is nameless and faceless is foe.

With bomb in the bag, in the midst of the mart,

Has love on his lips but hatred in heart.

O' Where are you, you young Lochinvar?

So faithful in love so dauntless in war.

We need you now as we needed you then,

This is bit serious, if that was bit fun.


Begin with that child, seen searching around,

Go, ask him and find, what he lost in the ground.

With tears down the cheeks, flowing right through the eyes,

You may not hear for suppressed are his cries.

Frantic his moves, O what does he gather?

Bones and ashes and remains of his father.

Killed unawares, he was, in front of his eyes,

No future is safe and present defies.

O' Where are you, you young Lochinvar?

So faithful in love, so dauntless in war.

We need you now, as we needed you then,

This is bit serious, if that was bit fun.


If you are the knight they call you with pride,

Come lift us from dismay, come please be the guide.

For those placed in power, we just can't go trust,

Their interests are many and many are their thrusts.

But before you begin, let's all make it clear,

WE all want the JUSTICE, just now, just here.

Deliver us from hatred, deliver us from fear.

Go sooth all the hearts, go wipe all the tears.

O' Where are you, you young Lochinvar?

So faithful in love, so dauntless in war.

We need you now as we needed you then,

This is bit serious, if that was bit fun.
