When Nile-born Isis spread her rainbow wings

From Nubia to York,

From Asia to the Pillars of Hercules,

Her silver voice rang clear: "There are no frontiers."

Was anybody listening?

When the Nazarene drank at the Samaritan well,

When loinclothed Ghandi stilled massacres with a word,

When Geldof swayed the spellbound stadium,

The word rang clear:

"There are no frontiers."

Was anybody listening?

In distant Chernobyl, one concrete room berserked;

And round the world the Geigers clicked:

"There are no frontiers."

Is anybody listening?

For God's sake -

Is anybody listening?
