Laissez-nous Chanter sans Murs


If you ever can dance
En français s’il vous plaît
Avec les enfants
Get in on, let the walls fall along

See all the colors
See all the little ones
Writing love notes on the elder’s wall
Peace no longer can you forestall

Je marche dans mes rêves
I cry for all the dying and the dead
Birds are flying children crying
The winds of change will come a flying

We are one, l'amour c'est toi
L'amour, tous qui rêvent d’avenir
It’s only a childs heart
That holds humanity dear

Destiny
Holds us together
Division
Murs that drive us apart

Kids United
Singing for a new start
Sur ma route
C'est possible; c'est tout.

I love this, Arthur. I can just see the children dancing and singing to save the world. After all, it is their future we're talking aboit. And, I can just see the grafitti on that "wall". Such a touching poem. This has possibilities of making a great song/video. I can see/hear it now. Great message!
