These lyrics really spoke to me this morning

I had my ipod on this morning and have always loved this song but today the lyrics meant so much more than they ever have before. It's Sarah McLachlan's One Dream:

"One Dream"

We can feel a change is coming
Like a kiss upon a tide
Breathing life into every heart
A hope for kinder times
Cause we'll walk this road together
Though at times we felt alone
In the struggle to leave dissent,
We find the strength one yet to find

You carry your courage, carry the history
But all have gone before you
Wherever you come from
Your born of the one dream that finds you standing here

And you know you can make it (can make it)
You got the whole world in your hands (whole world in your hand)
And you've spend a lifetime working for this moment (working for this moment)
And you are shining
You're all that you wanted to be

When you're airborne and free
At peace with gravity
High above everyone can see
The spirit of human ecology
How your flame keeps burning
When you leave all doubt behind
It's a giant leap for mankind
At peace we all shine

You carry your courage, carry the history
But all have gone before you
Wherever you come from
Your born of the one dream that finds you standing here

And you know that you can make it (you can make it)
You've got the whole world in your hands (whole world in your hands)
Cause you've spent your lifetime working for this moment
(you are shining)
And you are shining (you are shining)
You are all that you wanted to be
(you are shining)
And you are shining
You're all that you wanted to be
