Fighting for our place

We all move on together

All for one and one for all

We’re there for one another

Why are arguments settled this way

It hasn’t made things better

People still fight to make a point

But it goes on unaccomplished day after day

The fighting goes on

As death continues

Troops strive forward for their country

The bombs rise all through dawn

Why not just leave the opponents independent

If they wanted help they’d say something

Just let them figure things out

At this time they don’t need a defendant

Just let them free

Just let them live their own lives

See if they are better off

Without the help of our guides

Fighting for our place

We all move on together

All for one and one for all

We’re there for one another

Defying Gravity

I feel

like a bird newly launched into the gentle breeze

Thrown

to fly higher than the rest

yet

keep a watchful eye from above

I feel

like Elphaba

in the popular musical Wicked

I feel

like defying gravity
