Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it. George Bernard Shaw

For all who




















For all who suffered, and are no more
For all who cried, and still do so
For all who used to sleep under a sky of bricks
For all who are waiting now under a blanket of stars

Thou, my prayer, fly sky high
Over their heads, above their hopes

Protect them from angry sun and sharp hail
From dirty snow and steel rain

Thou, my prayer, fly over pain and tears
where men and earth sob at once
