Let's rewrite our story on the hearts of men.
Let's leave our footprints in the sands of time.
Let's be the difference we desperately seek. Let's live and love like there is no evil.
We came, we saw,
We fought it, now we live it.
The change we seek, lives with us,
Yet we are so self-absorbed that it eludes us.
Come, come!
They opened their arms,
Tiny feet ran to embrace the familiar,
The familiar became the pain of their future.
Love is abstract,
Love is not blind, don't be fooled!
If they hurt you,
Blame them, love is innocent.
Let's show what we mean,
When we make vows at the altar,
When hope is lit in eyes of the little ones,
When we decide to lead.
Let's give hope and not crush it,
Let's give words and mean them,
Let's treasure the future of the little ones,
Let's preserve and nuture.
We are here,
After we came and we saw,
We will conquer,
For those who come after, so let us.
