Lyrics

With a heavy heart, I hear another tragic tale.
Humans fail.
Is there no end to this pain, as history repeats again.
Try in vain.

Yet hope is resilient, our dreams are rekindled,
everyday a new life comes our way.
A brighter existence awaits us the instant we decide,
that we can make new beginnings.

Now, let us reach out with hearts open wide
And let's believe in our future.
May we find a wiser way.
Let our children awake to horizons of promise.

Our time has come to make a change.
We'll prove that there can be,
A sweeter destiny.


The path of brand new beginnings.

May we find a wiser way
Let's unite in fate for we shall rewind our story.

Our chance, it's time to change the world.
Our choice, it's time to heal the world.
