They seek to destroy our map of peace,<\/p>\n
to shatter the piece of the map we always knew.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They seek to employ the architects of silence,<\/p>\n
to mute our tongues and drain our ink wells.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They seek to blur the sight of the map,<\/p>\n
to irrigate its roots with termites of destruction.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The questions are running agog,<\/p>\n
as we have not been bred in pots of hypocrisy,<\/p>\n
and trees remain rooted generations before they go away.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We will paint in the colours of glittering melodies.<\/p>\n
We will paint in the colours of glittering melodies.<\/p>\n
We will paint in the colours of glittering melodies.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our peace will not become a shattered piece.<\/p>\n
In the basket of many eggs,<\/p>\n
a few bad eggs will not foul up our air for too long.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We will paint in the colours of glittering melodies.<\/p>\n
We will paint in the colours of glittering melodies.<\/p>\n
We will paint in the colours of glittering melodies.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As this map of peace will stand, in one piece,<\/p>\n
rioting memories will paint in the colours of glittering melodies.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
