lyrics

Sarah, let's have a dream like Martin Luther King at the end of the play. Maybe the police and politicians call us romantic idiots, but everything starts with a dream.


Children are the true interpreters of people. They show the innate truth of people before it becomes ugly; they are individuals who have not yet been caught up in murder, evil, and shamelessness.


Sarah, let's have a dream like Martin Luther King at the end of the play. Let's envision the creation and existence of a country where names such as "Jew" and "Muslim" can form plural identities without the presence of any superior unit.

A place and time where all the Palestinian people and Jews can come together with tolerance for each other; a place where people are freed from extreme fundamentalism, like Zionism, that mercilessly murders and displaces other oppressed women and children.


Sarah, go to Pharaoh with your wife, Abraham. Although we know that, as Friedrich Hölderlin, the poet of poets, has said, "But where the danger is, also grows the saving power."


Read Sarah! at the end of the play, for Abel and Cain, Ishmael and Isaac, as the Muslim and the Messiah, and the Jew from "Patmos." Maybe the end of our dream is the beginning of an event.

God is near

Yet hard to seize.

Where there is danger,

The rescue grows as well.

Eagles live in the darkness,

And the sons of the Alps

Go fearlessly over the abyss

Upon bridges simply built.

Therefore, since the peaks

Of Time are heaped all about,

And dear ones live close by,

Worn down on the most separated mountains

Then give us innocent waters;

Give us wings, and the truest minds

To voyage over and then again to return...
