When We Stand Together When we stand together on the solid ground of the real world, extending our arms in fellowship one with another, we can recognise our differences as we celebrate the beauty and variety of human cultural experience. When we stand together in the full light of day we can see ourselves and all others as essential parts of the structure called humanity. When we stand together in mutual support we are, each of us, at our strongest.

'Fighting for your home's no crime. 'He's nowhere else to go.' I went away to see them fight. No soldier could I be But with my pencil I could write Their story for all to see. I wrote of how they did their best, Of how they lived and died. Of mud and blood and all the rest, And how at times they cried. They did not cry from fear - oh no. All fears they put away. They cried for friends they saw shot down Who'd died in pain that day. I went away to see the war, And watched a soldier die. And after fifty years the scar Remains, remains.
