Welcome, greetings little cell!
What a wondrous sight you be.
But please go forth and multiply
For more we need to see.
What a wondrous sight you be.
But please go forth and multiply
For more we need to see.
You have a busy time ahead,
To fight the nasty stuff.
So just you go and find some mates
'Cos one ain't quite enough!
To fight the nasty stuff.
So just you go and find some mates
'Cos one ain't quite enough!
Don your armour, raise your sword,
And into battle ride.
Show not faint heart nor weak intent
'Cos we're all on your side!
And into battle ride.
Show not faint heart nor weak intent
'Cos we're all on your side!
And then, victorious may you rise
In a host who's fit and strong.
Then send him out into the world,
He's been abed for far too long!
He just wants healthy bits and bobs,In a host who's fit and strong.
Then send him out into the world,
He's been abed for far too long!
His arms, his legs, his hooter.
So he can get right outa here.
And ride upon his scooter!!!

It can't cripple love
It can't shatter hope
It can't corrode faith
It can't eat away peace
It can't destroy confidence
It can't kill friendship
It can't shut out memories
It can't silence courage
It can't invade the soul
It can't reduce eternal life
It can't quench the Spirits
It can't lessen the power of the resurrection.
