I am trying to do a video about religious intolerance and how it effects people... This is one of my song choices. Its a Christian band called RED (I thought it was semi-ironic). This song is titled Pieces. Not a perfect fit, but I -love- the music of it. Maybe an instrumental?

Another suggestion for me (thanks hun!):

And this one seems to be the winner (slower would have been nicer in the beginning, but the lyrics are wonderful)!

Is it true what they say?Are we too blind to find the way?Fear of the unknownClouds our hearts today.
Come into my world,See through my eyes.Try to understand,Don't want to lose what we have.
We've been dreamingBut who can deny?It's the best way of livingBetween the truth and the lies.
[Chorus:]See who I am,Break through the surface.Reach for my hand,Let's show them that we canFree your mind and find the way.The world is in our hands,This is not the end.
Fear is withering the soulAt the point of no return.We must be the change we wish to see.
I'll come into your world,See through your eyes.I'll try to understand,Before we lose what we have.
We just can't stop believingBecause we have to try.We can rise above the truth and their lies.
[Chorus x2]See who I am,Break through the surface.Reach for my hand,Let's show them that we canFree your mind and find the way.The world is in our hands.
This is not the end.
I hear their silencePreaching my blame.Will our strength remainIf their power reigns?
[Chorus x2]See who I am,Break through the surface.Reach for my hand,Let's show them that we canFree your mind and find the way.The world is in our hands.
This is not the end.

What I am
I do not claim to be an expert. In fact, I am anything but. What I am, however, is a Pagan. I have referenced this fact before, but I didnt go into much detail.
I identify with Wicca more than anything. I believe in the male and female aspects of everything, including a deity. The God and Goddess, Lord and Lady. I also believe in the four elemental spirits, with the fifth (spirit) being the Lord and Lady combined. I like to name things, so in my head I am learning and memorizing my names for the four spirits and Lord and Lady. The intelligent Wind is Anemone, empathetic Water is Arethousa, passionate fire is Aethon, and stable Earth is Demetrios. All of the names are Greek names relating/meaning that element. I relate heavily to the Greeks, as you can probably tell. When we see a deity, I believe it is the same force that we see. The different Gods and Goddesses that the Greeks saw and believed in I believe are different ways to see the Lord and Lady. When I am wishing for wisdom, I see Athena. When I want courage in the face of danger, I see Ares.
Another topic is energy. There is SOOO MUCH I could go in to. But for now, the basics. The energy of the universe, or All, connects every one of us, and is everywhere. Some of us can see or sense this energy and manipulate it. For those of you interested in learning how to achieve this feat, there are some things you need to learn. Ground, Center, and Making a Circle. I wont explain this here, but it is very important to learn. And dont get discouraged, I still cant see energy, and its a goal that ive had for years.
Well, enough for now. Maybe I will post later.
