Restored

I see the world through stunning eyes

the brightness of each the lightness of heart

the mask I bear and the shadowy hair

I reach out to you, my brothers and sisters,

to tune in to the vibrations of heart

wherein the wealth and happiness of all

resides in respect and dignity for humankind

let no child live in fear of the future

let cooperation and harmony be the anthem of nations

the belief in good and the welfare of all

the motto and creed of every nation, al people,

how will we overcome hatred and nationalism

let us all lay down our swords and speak

in a single voice so that we are heard at least

in the wee hours of the morning

as the sunlight hides her face from us

and we live on the hope that all can be restored
