On a day like today
When the sun comes out
After months of hiding
Behind low clouds and
Sheets of rain
You could believe anything
You can hope again
Hearts grown cold
Could thaw
Life could start fresh
Love could bloom
You could make new friends
Instead of enemies
Reach across walls and fences
Touch hands
Change could happen
People could listen
To one another
With compassion
They could share resources
They could take care of this earth
That has been home to us
For ages
We could choose a path of peace
Instead of war
On a day like this
