I wish things were different...
Students' thoughts, feelings and inspiration...
A world without war
If only there were peace and equality
People would live without fear.
I wish people hadn´t died
Because of diseases and lack of food
If only we had a better economy
To save people from this destiny. Adriana Jesus
I wish they knew I'm a fighter and they are breakable.
I wish I could reflect their image in order to show them the meaning of miserable.
If only I had enjoyed my old life, I would know how to do it now.
I wish I had taught you how to die, so that you could teach me how to live.
José Daniel
I wish I were still a kid,
no broken heart,
no painful tears,
only a wounded knee...
and a mom's kiss to make everything okay.
Cláudia Andrade
Peace
If only the world would know the definition of peace,
Without military police,
Just look at the capital of Greece,
It is falling piece by piece!
Day by day, society is changing
We need to try to encourage rearranging our attitudes,
In order to be one day more peaceful and thankful.
Daniel Everlien Berardo
You think you have to want more than you need
So I wish we wouldn't need to have it all to be free

Ebony and Ivory
At the simplest level, the song is about the ebony (black) and ivory (white) keys on a piano, but also deals with integration and racial harmony on a deeper level. The title was inspired by McCartney hearing Spike Milligan say "black notes, white notes, and you need to play the two to make harmony folks!"
Paul McCartney & Stevie Wonder make a beautiful statement about trust, love, respect, understanding and education that we are more alike than meets the skin!
Ebony and Ivory
Live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard
Oh Lord, why don't we ?
We all know that people are the same
wherever you go
We learn to live, we learn to give each other
What we need to survive
Together alive
Ebony and Ivory
Side by side on my piano keyboard
Oh Lord, why don't we ?
Ebony, Ivory, living in perfect harmony
Ebony, Ivory, ooh
We all know that people are the same
wherever you go
There's good and bad in everyone
We learn to live, we learn to give each other
What we need to survive
Together alive
Ebony and Ivory
Live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard
Oh Lord, why don't we ?
Side by side on my piano keyboard
Oh Lord, why don't we ?
Ebony, Ivory, living in perfect harmony
Ebony, Ivory, living in perfect harmony
Ebony, Ivory, living in perfect harmony...
