“We were talking about the space between us all
And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion,
Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late, when they pass away.
We were talking about the love we all could share.
When we find it, to try our best to hold it there.
With our love, with our love, we could save the world.
If they only knew.
Try to realise it's all within yourself―
No one else can make you change―
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you.
We were talking about the love that's gone so cold
And the people who gain the world and lose their soul.
They don't know, they can't see.
Are you one of them?
When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find
Peace of mind is waiting there,
And the time will come when you see we're all one
And life flows on within you and without you.”

“We were the lost children of our parents,
Those that ran away,
Those that sought homes away from home,
Looking for ourselves; some finding their ways. Others forever lost.
We could be defined by name, origin and favorite playlists.
And we wondered about our future as much as we wondered about what we would have for dinner.
We were ambitiously bored.
We sought out meaning to our lives, holding on to one another like a family of geographical orphans.
Looking for new fertile ground to plant our roots,
Because we wanted to go where we were celebrated. Not just tolerated.”

“We were the lucky ones, the notthese, we were the ones who had survived the aerial bombing and fire-clusters, the final flash. Regrettable, unavoidable, a war to end all wars, a war for democracy, a war for freedom, peaceful war. Sometimes war is necessary. Sometimes war is right.
But to the broken and the dead, to the wounded and the maimed, to the exploded and the shrapnelshattered, to minds gone dark, to eyes that have seen agony no tears can wash away, it hardly matters that the dead language of war repeats itself through time. The bodies that can say nothing have the last word.
What is it — the last word? No.
No more war.”
