Hold my hand

This might possibly be the most beautiful song Ive ever heard to date. Growing up, Ive spent my first years of school in United Nations International School in New York. These few years may well be my most cherished years growing up overseas because of the ideal racial harmony I was immersed in. Im not talking about the half-truth "racial harmony" thats over-publicized in Malaysia. Im talking about being in a classroom with kids from Australia, China, India, Uganda, Russia, Japan, Korea, England, America and all the other countries in the world.

Did we know what race was? Well yeah we knew we came from different countries, but we didnt know why the word existed. All we knew were that we were friends. My best friend was a kid named Brett from Zimbabwe.

You always see children of different races holding hands either in paintings, or in world-peace events. Its because children want harmony. They want to befriend everyone. Now tell me how come adults of different races aren't ever depicted holding hands. (or very rarely since it should be somewhere out there)

Hold my hand - Maher Zain

Some key lyrics in the song that struck a chord with me:

...Now we share the same bright sun,
The same round moon
Why don’t we share the same love

Tell me why not...

...Hold My Hand my friend
We can save the good spirit of me and you
For another chance
And let’s pray for a beautiful world
A beautiful world I share with you...

...No matter how far I might be
I’m always gonna be your neighbor
There’s only one small planet where to be
So I’m always gonna be your neighbor...
