Studied the guidelines now in her head.
Time came: she departed for the war,
Sure she'd care for all those wounded sore.
Many followed as she left her stamp,
At night she'd...

Violets bring healing to the soul,
Colours care for the sick,
Like Florence Nightingale.
Her amethyst fragrance,

Serenity and tranquillity
Sanctuary for love,

Three cheers for feisty Florence Nightingale
Who took under her wing the wounded and the frail.

Come help me Florence Nightingale
I need your healing hands
I need your guiding lamp my lady
Meet my one demand
The people, oh they told me

If I don’t bow down to their decree
Then “Cursed by God, I am!”

Come be my saviour, Nightingale
To you...

would never make a fuss .

the lady with the lamp
who'd come and provide aid
all throughout the...

I have seen you in times of affliction
The lady with the lamp, you,
You healed the body and soul.
We sang with an enchanting flowing river, nonchalantly.

I have seen you in times of conviction
Humane you, soft-spoken you, the strength in you.
The wisdom of words inside us.
We sang...
