Answer Our Call for "One World"
Shut the eyes and turn the dial
Of the heart to some misfortune.
Fèves! In scorched and bombed Lorraine
Happens up. In this chance friendship,
Fate has made it Fèves in France.
Someone else can help another.
Fèves, we're Morganville in Kansas,
Répondez s'il vous plaît.
Captain Morgan, may your spirit
Join us in this swelling song -
"One World." Everybody sing it;
Sing the song of Morganville.
Comment
Carson suggests the choice was random - which was only partially true - and the place chosen was Fèves. Other American towns
can help other villages.
Carson uses the common French phrase which asks for a response to an invitation.
Morganville calls to Fèves to accept the offer, and for the spirits of Morganville's past to join in and help
the citizens of today's Morganville.
