I sing a song of solidarity

for those murdered in the streets.

For those taken from their homes,

Imprisoned and sent far away

A song of forgiveness for those

who have become avengers

with souls blackened by anger.

I sing of love for those

who have lost their way

and those who are finding it in

the kindness of their neighbors.

A powerful song calling for

hope and beauty to rise out of those

terrorized and blood-soaked lives,

for those who deserve better

for we are all one.
