To the memory of the 22 aid
workers killed and 100 people injured that day when the UN Headquarters in
Baghdad was bombed. And all those who continue to dedicate themselves to
helping others.
I never thought the word one could amount to much.
Like what can one man do in this crazy world,
after all?
That was all before I looked in a mirror and set
my eyes on you;
And I knew one
could sometimes translate as beautiful.
I never knew the word one could create such earthy symphony:
Like one people, one song, one dance, one
humanity,
One hope, one faith in one love in sync with one
heartbeat
Sweeps the mind off its feet yet it’s the
definition of you and me.
