Tonight

Tonight, can we forget our politics,
Can we forget the different things we believe in,
the Gods we worship and don't.

Tonight, can we feel ourselves to be human,
Can we let silence dance and tickle our senses a bit?

Tonight, can we have a moment of quiet oneness,
A small rock under a vast and infinite sky,
So ignorant that we know not how little we know.

Tonight, can this be all that lasts,
For a moment's peace is worth all our belief.

Tonight, can we let tonight be,
Stay a while, and be you and me,
Our hope, our lives, different only relatively.

Tonight can be,
Let us be tonight.

Tonight,

Be.
