As long as I see pain and suffering on the horizon,
both sorrow and defiance anchor their roots
deep within my soul. I gather my strength.
I drive despair out of my heart. No matter
what happens around me, I will hold on to my faith
in life, in my global community of friends
who also fight the good fight.
We will help one another.
Even when we are far apart,
we will stand together.
We will not be obedient.
We will refuse.
We will not bow.
We will never surrender.
We will find the way.
