Deep in our hearts
we all want the same things
despite political chasms
united or divided
by Faith
either in the divine
or in ourselves
we yearn to trust
we pray for peace
Deep in our hearts
we all worry about the same things
keeping children safe
from bullying
discrimination
ethnic and racial slur
united or divided
by strong opinions
we yearn for equity
we pray for peace.
