This is my reflection on the terrorist attacks that occurred in Paris in November 2015.

lyrics

(We can not turn against, we can not turn against one another)

Take cover on the streets
Under blankets of fear
Witness horrors unfold
The statement is clear

Collective tears pour from the eyes of innocence
Fear and confusion, tragedy strikes again
I've stared blankly as two decades decay

(We can not turn against, we can not turn against one another)

Though the rivers of faith are a source of education
Pure springs quench an honest man's thirst
The blind are voracious seeking distorted teachings
We still tar inverse perceptions with the same worn out brush

It could be any place, anytime, anywhere
(We're pulled away)
It could be any place, anytime, anywhere
(We're pulled away)
It could be any place, anytime, anywhere
(We're pulled away)
It could be any place, anytime, anywhere

(Barrack Obama's speech)

We can not turn against one another
Because when we travel down that road, we lose
That kind of of divisiveness, that betrayal of our values
Plays into the hands of groups like ISIL
Our success won't depend on tough talk
Or abandoning our values, or giving into fear
If we're to succeed in defeating terrorism, it is by coming together
Freedom is more powerful than fear

Illuminate our icons
Buildings proudly stand up tall
Remember poisons once destroyed them
Our ideologies rise in stronger stone

And though the world may shake
And cracks in fractured communities expand
All will crumble
Unless the hinges of diversity lock hand in hand

(We can not turn against, we can not turn against one another, one another, one another)
