A Wall to tell you children dear
The future's yours to love and steer.
The dreams that come when you're asleep,
Of hope for peace that's yours to keep,
Heads of castles up above,
Do not want to hear of doves,
They hold the walls in castles strong-
Forbid the voice of childhood song.
The past is theirs, the future nears,
Make it yours and do not fear.

- Savino Sfregola
