Dreams, Contrasts and Realities
Dreams:
Five Songs
First Song
Every person has a right to food,
Be it ever so simple.
Second Song
Every person has a right to a roof,
Be it ever so humble.
Third Song
Every Person has a right to work,
In order to provide for themselves.
Fourth Song
Every person has a right to offer their love freely,
However they wish to express it.
Fifth Song
Every person has the duty and honour to help all people,
To help themselves to live a better life.
Commentary
All these truths are hereby stated,
Write them high in the sky,
Say them with every breath,
Make them the five songs you sing to your children,
The time for talk has gone,
Here, now, today, this minute,
We must begin a beginning,
We need to change the world.
One people, one planet,
To make a better place.
Remember the songs,
Make them your own,
Tell them, live them, share them,
Help them and us grow stronger,
But keep the songs simple,
Do nott forget why they started.
Today the sun will rise
Today we can and will change the world.
