Far from the Arms of Hunger
Harmony Beyond Chaos: A World Yearning for Unity
Lyrics
Far from the arms of hunger
Expresses a desire to be distant from the pain and suffering caused by hunger.
Far from the world disorder
Longing to be away from the chaos and confusion prevalent in the world.
Beyond the reach of warfare
Desiring to escape the impact and consequences of warfare.
Blinded by faith no longer
No longer blinded by unquestioning faith; a departure from dogma.
No longer free to plunder
Unable to freely take resources or exploit others without consequences.
No longer safe to rule
The loss of safety in wielding power and control.
A world no longer ours alone
Recognition that the world is shared, not exclusive to a particular group.
Where people walk in wonder
Imagining a world where people experience awe and amazement.
And speak to one another
Communication and understanding between people.
And recognize as brother
Identifying others as family, breaking down artificial barriers.
The face across the border
Acceptance and recognition of people from different regions.
Across a sea of differences
Overcoming differences symbolized by a sea, fostering unity.
Across the drifting sands
Overcoming challenges represented by drifting sands, seeking common ground.
The joining of our hands in time
Symbolic unity through the joining of hands across time.
When will we find
Pondering when humanity will no longer ignore pressing issues.
We can no longer look away?
Questioning when people will no longer turn a blind eye to global problems.
When will we mind
Asking when the collective conscience will be disturbed by daily acts of violence.
The killing in our name each day?
Highlighting the need to be aware and disturbed by violence committed in one's name.
When we decide
Questioning when the realization will dawn that excessive power burdens us.
That all our might just weighs us down
Suggesting that our strength and influence may be a hindrance.
Then will we find
Anticipating that a change in perspective will allow positive transformation.
The means to turn our world around
Discovering the means to collectively reshape and improve the world.
When will we find
Reiterating the question of when change will occur.
When will we mind
Repeating the importance of being mindful and aware.
When we decide
Reemphasizing the need for a collective decision to instigate change.
The means to turn our world around
Reiterating the idea of finding means to transform our world.
Far from the arms of hunger
Returning to the theme of being far from hunger, echoing the opening line.
Far from the world disorder
Reaffirming the desire to be distant from global disorder.
Beyond the reach of war
Extending the longing to be beyond the reach of war.
There is a world where we belong
Asserting that there exists a place where everyone belongs.
