All your armies

All your tanks

All your soldiers

And all your guns

Against a boy holding a stone

Standing there,

All alone…

In his eyes, his glimmering tears,

I see the moon

In his smile, his drooping grin,

I see the sun

But in his heart, true to his country,

I see the light of love

And I wonder, perplexed,

Who is right?

And who is wrong?

Who is weak?

And who is strong?

But does it matter of the choice I make?

For one voice is not enough to wake the world,

And challenge them

Is this what humanity is?

Is this what community is?

How could we kill our own kind?

And I can’t help but wish,

That the truth could have a tongue…
