QUOTES

"Peace and the struggle to achieve it is a life's work - global, national and person to person. Truth and beauty and peace, that is the beginning of the vision."

Light one candle for the strength that we need
to never became our own foe.
Light one candle for those who are suffering
pain we lived so long ago.
Light one candle for all we believe in
that anger won't tear us apart.
And light one candle to bring us together
with peace as the song in our hearts.

We have come this far always believing
that justice would somehow prevail.
This is the burden, this is the promise,
and THIS is why we will not fail.

There is only one river. There is only one sea.
And it flows through you, and it flows through me.
There is only one people. We are one and the same.
We are all one spirit. We are all one name.

"I think there's no doubt that music is a great emotional companion and when you introduce words into a person's psyche – with all the emotion that music can bring – you're affecting the human condition."
