Here I sit a half a world away,
watching tragic news unfold
on a four-foot screen,
questioning the fear,
the timing and the future.
But none of these things
are worth reasoning:
another day dawns, the sun will rise upon
your children for generations.

Don't let fear close your heart
or set apart your dreams.
Don't fear tomorrow, the world's behind you,
sending our love in the spirit of
Kibou, the hope of the future,
where everyday heroes help everyday people.

So when you're feeling lost inside,
when you want to run and hide, hear me.
When you're feeling all alone,
remember all the world's your home, be strong!

Don't let fear close your heart
or set apart your dreams.
Don't fear tomorrow, the world's behind you,
sending our love in the spirit of
Kibou, the hope of the future,
where everyday heroes help everyday people.

Today the future is a newborn baby.
With care and attention, love and protection,
it begins to crawl, then walking,
soon running...
