From a recent event we all attended and that to this project, Song from Francesco De Gregori called "La Storia"
http://www.youtube.com/watch…
We are the history, no one should be offended
We are this lawn of needles under the sky
We are the history, pay attention
No one is excluded
We are the history
We are these waves in the sea
This noise that breaks the silence
This silence so hard to tell
But the history doesn't stop
In front of one door
The history enters inside the rooms, it burns them
The history can be wrong but it also can be right
We are the history
We are the ones who write the letters
We are the ones who have everything to win
Or everything to lose
People make history
When it comes to choosing and going
You find them with their eyes wide open
Because they know well what they're doing
Those who have read millions of books
And those who don't even know to speak
And that's why history gives chills
Because no one can change it
We are the history
We are fathers and sons
We are the ones that goes
The history doesn't have secrets
The history doesn't let you aside
We are the history
We are these plates of wheat
Many want to make a positive difference in the world. But then there are those who actually do it. Support Micah, MH, and Zeugma!
