Inspired by the movie THE YEAR OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY
Philosopher, Lover of Life, Wise One
What I would give
To see the world through your eyes
To picture the haze of freedom
Where there reigns injustice and chains
To capture the shadow of dignity
Where there thunders cries of hunger and pain
To carry the veil of hope
Where there lurks despair and death
To paint a watercolour rainbow
Where there is but sorrow and starvation
Teach me to find meaning
Where there dwells only desperation
Teach me to see with your eyes
