The Message

Ladies and Gentleman, Brothers & Sisters, Friends of the world As we sit here on this pale blue dot hurtling through space Towards an inevitable and dramatic conclusion. I'd like to thank you, wherever you are For spending a few of those precious moments with us. And as this chapter draws to a close I'd like to share with you The greatest thing that I've learnt in my own revolutions around the sun. This, is our message to you. As I travelled the world, from North to South From East to West I collected all the teachings, all the stories And all the fables I could find And managed to condense them down Into just four small words to live by. Four small words to change the world. Don't. Be. A. Dick. Now I'm sure like me, of late You've turned on you Tv and witnessed the hate You've switch on your radio, opened up the paper And all you hear and all you read is violence and anger And hatred and division And sadness and lies And you've turned to your loved ones And cried to the skies Just what the hell is going on? Dear God, what have we become? Now, I ain't sitting here saying I've got the solution I can't save the world, I can't provide absolution But what I can say with absolute and unerring conviction is this In this church It doesn't matter if you're black or white Or straight or gay It doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman Or anything in between It don't matter if you're rich or poor It don't matter if you're Israeli or Palestinian Or British, or Syrian None are lost all are found It don't matter because in this church we stand as one One congregation underneath the Sun But if all that is too much to recall Just think of those four small words That could save us all
