I Want To Live….
There are children raised in sorrow
on a scorched and barren plain,
there are children raised beneath a golden sun.
There are children of the water,
children of the sand,
and they cry out through the universe,
their voices raised as one:
I want to grow,
I want to see,
I want to know,
I want to share what I can give,
I want to be,
I want to live.
We are standing all together, face to face and arm in arm.
We are standing on the threshold of a dream.
no more killing,
no more wasting life away.
It is simply an idea and I know its time has come.
I want to live, I want to grow, I want to see, I want to know,
I want to share what I can give,
I want to be……..
…I want to live..

Evita,
I love this post. Very touching photos that bring the lyrics to this song to life. Absolutely beautiful.
Evita, you put together this collage of photos beautifully! I also like the way your photos provide a visual to children all over the world. I also enjoyed the song you paired with the photos! Thanks for sharing.
Evita, Your blog is wonderful. I attempted to post pictures; however, when I posted my blog they did not transfer. If you have a chance, please tell me how you did yours. I enjoyed how the pictures reflected what the song said. Thank you for sharing.
This is a wonderful representation. You did a great job of representing diversity and cultures. I didn’t previously know the lyrics to this song, and now I am going to have to listen to it.
This is such an emotional representation. You placed a lot of respect and energy into this. Your representation is powerful and shows how every child is important to society. A job in excellent taste.
