The best one

Maybe the 25 years since it came out just after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement have dulled its hope a little, but the upturn at the end still stirs the heart.

takes a turn for the positive in the last word / 10 seconds

When I was in school, we used to sing a song with the following lyrics:

Think of a world without any flowers,
Think of a world without any trees,
Think of a sky without any sunshine,
Think of the air without any breeze.
We thank You, Lord,
for flowers and trees and sunshine,
We thank You, Lord,
and praise Your holy name.

Think of a world without any animals,
Think of a field without any herd,
Think of a stream without any fishes,
Think of a dawn without any bird.
We thank You, Lord,
for all Your living creatures,
We thank You, Lord
and praise Your holy name.

Think of a world without any people,
Think of a street with no-one living there,
Think of a town without any houses,
No-one to love and nobody to care.
We thank You, Lord
for families and friendships,
We thank You, Lord,
and praise Your holy name.

Always used to make me too sad inspite of the minor-to-major transition into the chorus

Surely this is the definitive answer
