&quot;Love is not opening your eyes but opening your heart.&quot;<br /> &quot;You see not with your eyes, But with your heart.&quot;<br /> &quot;Think first with your heart not your head.&quot;<br /> &quot;If it has a heart, It is human.&quot;

Peace we cried
Peace we tried
We fought and fought
But were too distraught

The rebels were caught
Now we had naught
Those who were relieved
Were the deceived

Those who believed
Were set free
Though not in body
Only in spirit

Vengeance filled the mind
Of all those who had died
One final straw
Is the only flaw

Those who had lost
On the final day
Cried for their ancestors to release them
From the evil

And on that day
They did obey
The people saved
Could never forget this beautiful day
