We fill the craters left by the bombs
And once again we sing
And once again we sow
Because life never surrenders.

Very inspiring lines indeed. Recently, I was blessed with the realisation that life is simply too precious to be squandered by human folly, and truth, goodness, beauty could never be effaced.
thanks, Rama.
