Open all the borders
burn all the passports
tear up the paper money

Clear away all the debris
Tear down the gates of fears and jeers
Feel the spirit in the trees and the seas

Let’s get rid of all those toothpaste smiles
Let’s say our say, be lights of love
Let’s let our hearts be kites of love

Let’s again look long in each other’s eyes
