Do you hear the people sing?

February 26, 2022

Do you hear the people sing
Lost in the valley of the night?
It is the music of a people
Who are climbing to the light.

For the wretched of the earth
There is a flame that never dies.
Even the darkest night will end
And the sun will rise.

They will live again in freedom
In the garden of the Lord.
They will walk behind the plough-share,
They will put away the sword.
The chain will be broken
And all men will have their reward.

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Do you hear the people sing?
Say, do you hear the distant drums?
It is the future that they bring
When tomorrow comes!

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Do you hear the people sing?
Say, do you hear the distant drums?
It is the future that they bring
When tomorrow comes…
Tomorrow comes!

The whole world is watching. It’s unraveling quickly for Putin’s war. Former Ambassador to Russia under Obama Dr. Michael McFaul:

“I’ve watched and listened to Putin for over thirty years. He has changed. He sounds completely disconnected from reality. He sounds unhinged.”

From former German Chancellor Angela Merkel,

“who has had more experience with Putin than any other Western leader during 16 years win power & could also converse with/him directly in Russian: Russia’s war of aggression marks a profound turning point in European history after the end of the Cold War” [AFP].
