When holding your breath is safer than breathing When letting go is braver than keeping When innocent words turn to lies And you can't hide by closing your eyes
When pain is all that they offer Like a kiss from the lips of monster You know the famine so well, but never met the feast And home is the belly of the beast
The ocean is wild and over your head And the boat beneath you is sinking Don't need room for your bags Hope is all that you have So say the Lord's prayer twice, hold your babies tight Surely someone will reach out a hand And show you a safe place to land
Oh, imagine yourself in a building Up in flames being told to stand still The window's wide open This is leap is on faith You don't know who will catch you Maybe somebody will
The ocean is wild and over your head And the boat beneath you is sinking Don't need room for your bags Hope is all that you have So say the Lord's prayer twice, hold your babies tight Surely someone will reach out a hand And show you a safe place to land
Be the hand of a hopeful stranger A little scared but you're strong enough Be the light in the dark of this danger 'Til the sun comes up
Be the hand of a hopeful stranger A little scared but you're strong enough Oh, be the light in the dark of this danger 'Til the sun comes up
Be the hand of a hopeful stranger A little scared but you're strong enough Be the light in the dark of this danger 'Til the sun comes up
'Til the sun comes up, oh 'Til the sun comes up, 'til the sun 'Til the sun comes up 'Til the sun, 'til the sun Comes up

Dulce et Decorum Est written by Wilfred Owen read by Terry Neason
"This poem is seldom read by a woman. I originally performed Dulce Et Decorum Est in my show, "Words of Pride and Passion". In my opinion, this powerful and poignant piece is one of the greatest Anti-War poems ever written." Read by the Scottish singer and actress, Terry Neason.
Wilfred Edward Salter Owen was an English poet and soldier. He was one of the leading poets of the First World War.

The Times They Are A-Changin' by Bob Dylan
Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.
