Hi everyone,

I was going to post here yesterday but couldn't find the words to 
comment on everything that happened. Going thro' some old files this 
evening I just came across this song by Garth Brooks which expresses 
all that I can't say. Just to let anyone affected by this tragedy 
know that you are all in my prayers.

This ain't coming from no prophet 
Just an ordinary man 
When I close my eyes 
I see the way this world shall be 
When we all walk hand in hand 
When the last child cries for a crust of bread 
When the last man dies for just words that he said 
When there's shelter over the poorest head 
We shall be free 

When the last thing we notice is the color of skin 
And the first thing we look for is the beauty within 
When the skies and the oceans are clean again 
Then we shall be free 
We shall be free 
We shall be free 
Stand straight 
Walk proud 
'Cause we shall be free 

When we're free to love anyone we choose 
When this world's big enough for all different views 
When we all can worship from our own kind of pew 
Then we shall be free 
We shall be free 
We shall be free 
Have a little faith 
Hold out 
'Cause we shall be free 

And when money talks for the very last time 
And nobody walks a step behind 
When there's only one race and that's mankind 
Then we shall be free 

Aleks (in the UK, far from all that's happened)
