I want to live
To see an albatross
Glide over the southern ocean.

I want to live
To know that babies
Are born safely world-wide.

I want to live
To understand
How East and West can feast together.

I want to live
To read the books
The children of Aleppo will write.

I want to live
To ensure that any woman
Can walk any street anytime anywhere.

I want to live
In peace with justice
Sharing the promise of abundant life
With all of you.
