We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
It's why we are here, why we are here
We are here
Bombs over BAGHDAD
Tryna get something we never heard
Let's start with a good dad
So real but it's so sad
And while we're burning this incense
We gon' pray for the innocent
Cause right now it don't make sense
Right now it don't make sense
Let's talk about chi-town
Let's talk about GAZA
Let's talk about
Let's talk about Israel
Right now it is real
Let's talk about
Let's talk NIGERIA, and the mass hysteria
Our souls are brought together so that we
could love each other brother
We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
It's why we are here, why we are here
We are here
No guns made in Harlem
But yet Crime is a problem
He wanna shine, he wanna rob 'em
Single mother, where they come from?
How we gonna save the nation
With no support for education
Cause right now it don't make sense
Right now it don't make sense
Let's talk about our part
My heart touch your heart
Let's talk about
Let's talk about living
Had enough of dying
Not what we all about
Let's do more giving
Do more forgiving, yeah
Our souls are brought together so that we can
love each other sister
We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
It's why we are here, why we are here
We are here
We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
It's why we are here, why we are here
We are here
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
It's why we are here, why we are here
We are here
We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
It's why we are here, why we are here
We are here

Alicia Keys on her Facebook Page, she writes:

"The day I wrote this song, I was sitting in a circle of people of all ages and we were asked, “Why are you here.” Why am I here? This really hit me on a deep level. I realized no one had ever asked me that question before.
As I prepare to give birth to a new child, I can’t help and think about the world I’m bringing my baby into. No matter where we come from, when we see the state of the world today, we can all feel the growing frustration and desire to make a difference. And we all have a voice – we just need to know how to make it heard.
I have a vision that I believe is more than a dream, that I know can be our reality.

I believe in an empowered world community built on the true meaning of equality – where we are all considered one people, regardless of race, religion, gender, zip code, belief system or intimate orientation.
I believe all of our voices should be heard, so that our representation reflects our population. We need our leadership to reflect an equal balance of the gifts that both men and women have to offer.
I believe in a world where every child born receives a quality education – where their unique gifts are nurtured so that they may be a beneficial presence in this world.
I believe in mutual respect and cooperation among all peoples and all nations. It is time to end all forms of racial injustice for our black brothers and sisters and all people of color.
I believe in an end to the prison industrial complex in America and a renewed justice system that is based on fairness and truth."

She continues on her page to say:

"I believe in universal global health care based on Integrative Medicine, so that our bodies are acknowledged and treated as one system, and we can help control the spread of diseases like AIDS, Malaria, TB and Ebola.
I believe we have an ability to end poverty, oppression, and hopelessness that often breeds despair, terror, and violence.
I believe in common sense gun laws that serve to protect children and families and society from unnecessary violence.
I believe in Peace & Love & Unity.
I believe that this vision can be a reality.
And, it’s not about me. It’s about WE.
Together we can give birth to a kinder and more peaceful world for ALL children.
Our souls were brought together so that we can love each other sister, brother. We Are Here. We are here for all of us. That’s why #WeAreHere.
Sent with Light."

A failed state means a state that does not have sovereignty. As long as Goodluck Jonathan is the president of Nigeria and have power over every part of Nigeria, Nigeria remain a state.
Can you tell me the name of the leader of somalia and libya?. Probably not because they have more than 50 leaders.
