Mankind Is No Island - Homenagem aos Sem-Abrigo

Verdadeiramente fantástico este filme...

This story is about 2 cities
Divided by a great ocean
United by hope
Hunger
Through your eyes
Our city is famous
Happy
You can feel the love
Love Love Love Love
I love Sydney
I love NY
But what is it we love today
Do we love the people or the place
Do we measure empathy by donations

I walk by you today.
I always look away

Well worn boots
With no standing
With no standing
With no standing
Do you reason with your condition

Our city says
We’ll look after you
Your very own family turned blind
When did you last see your dad
Boys
Mother
Brothers

No fortune to indulge
No sunflower
No rainbow
No successful life

I walk by you today.
I did not look away

A story around every corner
The gentle art of hearing
Your truth
Your thinking
Your inner Spirit
No different to me

This is Freedom?

Mankind is no island
