JOURNEY OF HOPE



Equality has never been so strong a word
Since your arrival in this fucked-up world
Reminder of other’s pain, the needless sorrow
Nations humbled, forced to steal, beg and borrow
A promise today of better times to come
If we stand together, when we unite as one.

Never too late to take on a task
To finally free us from the past
Many words spoken, promises given
A chance for others to go on living
Children’s sweet laughter, no more tears
Death and hunger … no more a mother’s fears.

A rock star’s loud and insistent song
Carry a message, enough! It’s been too long
Why then, in a world with so much
Do we turn away; ignore our neighbour’s touch?
Let go of ignorance, ego and stupid fear,
Remember the message; let your voice be clear.

African continent his work of choice
Giving the sick, hungry and poor his unmistakable voice
The journey long, its just begun
Remember the ancient truth … we are all ONE
A man of wisdom, a man with soul
Everyone equal … his only goal.
