George

There are times for peace and times for war When your conscience comes knocking at your door And you know your Creator is asking for more.. And that's ok. From our comfortable places we rise and stand When our neighbours, down trodden, require a hand When that line needs re-drawing in the sand.. Then that's ok. For we fight, not each other, no not at all We simply respond when our hearts hear the call If we graze our knees as we scale that wall.. Then that's ok. And brick by brick we dismantle the tower Of the uncaring, self-interested, lofty and dour. It may take us years, but one hour by one hour.. That's ok. We're rebuilding Freedom, Justice and Dignity - Never taking for granted but share it in unity. The future may depend on both You and on Me.. Then that's ok. So protest we will and never say never. We'll stand and we'll sit whatever the weather Knowing this: we are strong. But stronger together. And that's ok.
