“It’s Sunday, and I’m sitting down to relax a bit, allowing some tired thoughts to drift away from me. However, this world we face with its screens day and night doesn’t allow us much joy. The television broadcasts unending bloody images, and the capitalists and war traders aren’t planning for a tomorrow filled with peace! They always need events to keep themselves in the spotlight. I turned off the television and returned to my seat with a reservoir of thoughts, memories, hopes, and feelings, then music enveloped me and filled this whole scene. I wanted to share with you this song that resonated deeply within me. It’s by the singer Sarah Brightman. Here are its lyrics, and I hope you write to me about your impressions after listening to it… Take care; My love to everyone.”

My statures are falling
Like feathers of snow
Their voices are calling
In a whispering world
Waiting for the morning glow

Heaven is calling
From rainy shores
Counting wounded lights falling
Into their dreams
Still searching for an open door
In morning dew

A glorious scene came through
Like war is over now
I feel I’m coming home again
Pure moments of thought
In the meaning of love
This war is over now
I feel I’m coming home again

An arrow of freedom
Is piercing my heart
Breaking chains of emotion
Give a moment to pray
Lost innocence to find it’s way

Fields of sensation
A cry in the dark
Hope is on the horizon
With a reason to stay
And living for a brand new day

In morning dew
A glorious scene came through
Like war is over now
I feel I’m coming home again
Pure moments of thought

In the meaning of love
This war is over now
I feel I’m coming home again

Salaam Allah alad donia alal’insaan
Ah ah oh ah, mata nahia behob ou aman
Salaam Allah
Salaam Allah
Salaam Allah alad donia alal’insaan

In morning dew
A glorious scene came through
Like war is over now
I feel I’m coming home again
Pure moments of thought
In the meaning of love
This war is over now
I feel I’m coming home again
To you
