People in places many of us never heard of, whose names we can't pronounce or even spell, are speaking up for themselves.

They want a decent standard of living. They want human dignity and a voice in their own futures. They want their children to grow up strong and healthy and free.

There'll be spring every year without you. England still will be here without you.
There'll be fruit on the tree.
And a shore by the sea.
There'll be crumpets and tea without you.

Art and music will thrive without you. Somehow Keats will survive without you.
And there still will be rain on that plain down in Spain,
even that will remain without you.
I can do without you.

You, dear friend, who taught so well,
You can go to Hartford, Hereford and Hampshire.

They can still rule with land without you.
Windsor Castle will stand without you.
And without much ado we can all muddle through without you.

Not in the light that blinds, but in the dark that nourishes, where human beings grow human souls.
