Bruce Cockburn penned these immortal words in 1984 for his song "Lovers in a Dangerous Time". They were quoted again by Bono in "God Part 2". They yearn for a world, that is still under the cloak of evil and depravity, and hope in action for change.
Imagine that you lived your life in your hometown and when you went to get your license it turned out that your parents brought you to this country from England when you were still a baby and as such, you were not a citizen of the US. What is to be done? What is not to be done...After living your whole life in the US, that suddenly you should be sent packing to a foreign land. It is right that the US Congress should immediately give help and protection to those who have been labelled "Dreamers". It is the right thing to do. Immigration is a thorny issue with lots of problems. Let's fix something now that makes sense and helps people...our people...humanity. Here's another immortal quote: “If you really change your ways and your actions and deal with each other justly, if you do not oppress the alien, the fatherless or the widow and do not shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not follow other gods to your own harm, then I will let you live in this place, in the land I gave your forefathers for ever and ever” (Jeremiah 7:5-7 NIV 1984)
