Everyone is born into a world of possibility.

From our first steps to the first words that fall carelessly off our lips.

We are miracles.

We are the product of an Earth so lush that we marvel even at its smallest beauties.

Yet somehow, ultimately, our eyes learn to ignore the little things.

In our innocence, we love so recklessly that nothing can actually hurt us.

Galaxies hide in our minds.

White doves sing in our hearts.

But one day we find the impossible.

We find an evil that makes us cower in our very skins.

Suddenly, our eyes can see famine.

Our souls can fathom war.

Our hearts are blackened with hate.

It's as if over night, all the good transformed into a monstrous corruption.

We begin to understand the frown that tugs at our mothers' faces.

We realize the meaning behind the wrinkles that weigh down our fathers'.

But youth is not done with us yet.

A fire begins to burn from the tips of our toes,

Through our calloused hands,

And into our smiles.

Every part of us wrenches us towards change.

We are the revolutionary generation.

Our minds are ready for the fight.

We search for those that are like us.

Freed from the lies, but shackled by the truth.

We are all one.

Todos somos uno.

كلنا واحد

Hum ek hai (hum ache hey)

Nous sommes un (noos som eh)

We find soul mates in the pages of history

Brandishing our swords of victory

Standing in solidarity with the likes of Gandhi

Because we will "Be the change [we] wish to see in the world"

And we find a friend in the rebels of society

Rapping with Tupac fearlessly

Because we know now that

"Before we find world peace

We gotta find peace and end the war on the streets"

We could change everything.

The human race balances delicately on our shoulders.

Because we are the youth.

We are the foundation of every community

We risk everything because we have nothing to lose.

So let us turn this world upside down.

We may crush all of your realities

And we may change everything

But that may just be exactly what we need.

The time has come for us to unlearn everything we thought we knew.

The time has come for ideas to be fertilized and grow into full bloom.

The time has come for us to learn peace.

We are the generation that will bring peace.

The years have escaped us but our fires still burn.

We've been quiet for too long.

So get ready for our storm.
