I believe there’s no evil out there we didn’t have a hand in
You believe it’s a time for peace and a time for understanding
Some of us believe that we are chosen
And if God is on our side we’ll win the game
And some of us believe that there’s a heaven
When the trumpets sound and the judges call your name
But let’s get it straight
I believe there’s just once chance in this world to hear our brothers
You believe there’s a better way to listen to each other
We don’t get what the other guy is saying
We hear the words but we don’t understand
So around the world the same old anger raging
And we all cry for shame and the same old tragedy goes down
We believe there’s a better way to fight
There’s a way to make our children safe at night
We believe there’s a war we could be winning
But the only way to win it is to give what we need to receive
I believe we need a hero to step boldly from the shadows
You believe there must be someone on the scene that fits the bill
A man or a woman who knows how to say I’m sorry
With courage in his heart to match his creed
A leader who can build a brand new morning
And match the tide of changes
Match the intent with the deed
We believe there’s a deed of obligation
To bring reconciliation
To make peace with every nation - in our time
We believe there’s not a minute we should be wasting
When the darkness falls it’s too late to fix the crime
It’s peace that we need
Every father every mother knows the meaning
Human treasure that our leaders do forget
And the bullets fly in the face of common reason
And the pain we give is the legacy in the end we get
We believe there’s a song that’s worth the singing
It’s a song of truth we’re bringing
There’s a way to share the Earth with everyone
We believe every creature has a being
Has a right to respect and feeling
To live and breathe and flourish in the sun
That’s what we believe
This is "We believe", one of the songs of Queen + Paul Rogers´s new album, and I like it a lot, specially the lyrics, cause it talks about something so important for me:PEACE.
Peace may seem a very big word,and it is, but it is something small too, that we all have the responsability to build, to make it true in our "little worlds", among the people that are closer to us, that will be the begining of the bigger peace that we all want for the wholw world.
But peace cant be posible when there are tons of unfair situations in the world, and thats where we must do someting:we must make those acts of injustice visible to everybody, so that something can change, and we must give our time,our talents, our efforts, our voice, or whatever we feeel to give, to help those who dont have what we have, to teach respect and love for everyone to our families and our friends, to find a way to improve our comunities.
Some people say that all those things are very beautiful, but we, as individuals, cant to anything, thats not true, theres a lot we can do to "walk an extra mile",to really "love our neighbour" . You have some ideas of some organizations in the right part of my blog, and, for example,next Friday is the day against poverty, and we all can get involved (check this website... thanks Patricia for the link!!).
And even if all that still seems so far away for you, just, please, at least take a time to think about fighting against the unfair things of the world, talk about it with your family and friends, and do something, cause, believe me, there isnt greataer joy than give a little bit of ourselves,you always receive more than you give, and little steps will lead us to greataer things.
You all, with your love and your examples, help me to believe that a better world is posible , I just hope each one of us will work to make that a greataer reality everyday.
I know I always say the same thing, but it is because its true:I miss you guys!. Have an awesome weekend!.
