"Peace is our God and love our religion; I know you hate me brother and you may have a reason; But I have a vision brother, that we are one nation,
Build a fire of tolerance and burn all the weapons; Hold my hand and pray with me, hear Him listen; Be at peace brother, and we shall be granted, our piece of heaven."

sincerest hope that we do all we can today to forever erase the latter."
