Mrs. Keys writes:
The day I wrote this
song, I was sitting in a circle of people of all ages and we were asked, “Why
are you here.” Why am I here?? This really hit me on a deep level. I realized
no one had ever asked me that question before.
As I prepare to give
birth to a new child, I can't help and think about the world I'm bringing my
baby into. No matter where we come from, when we see the state of the world
today, we can all feel the growing frustration and desire to make a difference.
And we all have a voice - we just need to know how to make it heard.
I have a vision that
I believe is more than a dream, that I know can be our reality.
I believe in an
empowered world community built on the true meaning of equality – where we are
all considered one people, regardless of race, religion, gender, zip code,
belief system or sexual orientation.
I believe all of our
voices should be heard, so that our representation reflects our population. We
need our leadership to reflect an equal balance of the gifts that both men and
women have to offer.
I believe in a world
where every child born receives a quality education – where their unique gifts
are nurtured so that they may be a beneficial presence in this world.
I believe in mutual
respect and cooperation among all peoples and all nations. It is time to end
all forms of racial injustice for our black brothers and sisters and all people
of color.
I believe in an end
to the prison industrial complex in America and a renewed justice system that
is based on fairness and truth.
I believe in
universal global health care based on Integrative Medicine, so that our bodies
are acknowledged and treated as one system, and we can help control the spread
of diseases like AIDS, Malaria, TB and Ebola.
I believe we have an
ability to end poverty, oppression, and hopelessness that often breeds despair,
terror, and violence.
I believe in common
sense gun laws that serve to protect children and families and society from
unnecessary violence.
I believe in Peace
& Love & Unity.
I believe that this
vision can be a reality.
And, it’s not about
me. It’s about WE.
Together we can give
birth to a kinder and more peaceful world for ALL children.
Our souls were
brought together so that we can love each other sister, brother. We Are Here.
We are here for all of us. That's why #WeAreHere.
Sent with Light,
Alicia Keys
