Song: I Dream of A World
(Inspired by a profound sadness brought on by the heartwrenching image of 5 year old Omran Daqneesh in shock and stillness, following an air strike in Aleppo, Syria. Lyrics and tune/chords by Anthea Indira Ong.)

I dream of a world
Where there’s no crumbling rubble
Where there’s no terror falling
From the sky above
I dream of a world
Where no child suffers
Where little boys and girls sing to
Fill the air with jingles
His silence.. his stillness
Breaks my heart.. into pieces
I cry for him.. and with him
But is that enough for him?
What am I doing?
Why am I allowing….this insanity that makes my soul empty?
I can’t just dream, I have to be
The change that I want to see in the world
I dream of a world
With no walls and borders
Where we take time to
Connect with one another
I dream of a world
Where we love each other
Cos’ we treat one another
Like brothers and sisters
Yes, this world…can be here
If we let go of our fears
We mustn’t.. give up
On them, our children
What are we doing?
Why are we allowing …this insanity that makes our souls empty?
We can’t just dream, we have to be
The change that we want to see in Our World.
