Hail to all of us down here

I've really fallen in love with the music of the singer Anouk, and felt this was worth sharing. It's one of those few songs, I felt really crosses the rift between religions, beliefs and politics. It celebrates us. Which is something, we tend to forget about. Despite all our differences, we're all on this planet, in this together... and sometimes we forget how great of an accomplishment it is for the human race just to survive, but we not only to that, we prosper... despite war, hate, guns, capitalism, greed...
They say that sometimes
you've got to pick up arms and fight
for what you believe is right
some say
that's just not the way
you will only make things worse
so I close my eyes and turn my head away
and I hope it'll be all right
fall into a restless sleep
while so many innocent die
that's why I sing
(chorus)
hail to all of us
hail to all of us down here (2x)
maybe someday soon
when we've thought things over
we'll know what to do
but probably
there's a much bigger chance, you see
that it will all be gone
so I close my eyes and turn my head away
and just hope it'll be all right
fall into a restless sleep
while so many others die
that's why I sing
(chorus 2x)
New York City, London, Jericho
Jerusalem, Sydney, anywhere you wanna go
Capetown, to the moon and back again
(chorus 2x)
yeah yeah
yeah yeah
They say that sometimes
you've got to pick up arms and fight
for what you believe is right
