Here we stand

Before a platform in which
History will be made

Music echoing through your skin
People waiting, anticipating
New York blue skies,
Like a cover, keeping them warm
It moves us together,
For peace, for love.


He approaches the stage
And we roar, like a lion.
Millions of us with the voice of one.
Singing so strong it’s
more powerful than war.
Just comfort within our neighbors
Meeting new strangers
Music flowing through our skin
Like a religion
Answering our prayers
Releasing our regrets
Setting us free An invitation to move on
a gift for forgiveness

Like a medication; antidepressant.
