In the World

I hear the echoes in my mind
The voices cheer and jeer and call to me
From little ones who cannot speak
To those too old and tired and weak
And we reach out together holding hands
And the world is our garden growing green.
Today may we take a step for freedom
Tomorrow we may finally find our voice
And then perhaps we’ll walk
Soon enough we’ll even talk—to each other! Yes!
The sun will come arising o’er the lake
Our hearts so filled with love, but they won’t break
We are united in our love
For our sisters and our brothers
In the world!
