I dreamed that all around the world --
people who work for our communities,
churches, people who speak for peace,
people who speak for human rights, for animals, for the environment,
writers, musicians, dancers, artists, film and theater artists, the media,
scientists, researchers, doctors, psychiatrists, inventors,
veterans, unions, athletes, statesmen and women, intelligence agents,
and many others -- came together to expose the systems of persecution.

I heard their words.
And in the morning when I awoke
all around the world, in every nation,
the bells in the towns and the cities were ringing for freedom and peace.
