We can disagree on many things
But we can agree on the beauty of art
On the heights a poem takes us to
On how a painting moves us
On the sublime feelings we get from music
Art lifts our spirits
It touches our souls
It enlightens us
And as we share with each other
These beautiful things
As we celebrate what we have in common
We feel closer
And what can be more wonderful than art
As something to have in common

People are fascinating
We are all so different and yet the same
We have similar needs
But fulfill them in different ways
In the end, we all want to be loved and valued
We hope to contribute somehow to the society we live in
We want to be seen and heard
We want to have true friends in our lives
We want to learn and discover and fulfill our potential
These needs transcend Nationality, race and culture
These needs are human needs
Common to us all
