Stricken.

Excerpts of young people's voices across Sydney:

"I saw a dry and dead environment.. The beaches and the air were destroyed by pollution and people were dying fast...There were guns and fighting going on all over the world. Most people were poverty stricked and were forced to live on the streets... The world to me wouldn't be worth living in..."
- Craig, 15

"I see the environment in the future as a false representation of the real thing...Forests that have been knocked down are made into forests of fibre glass and cement"
- Anthony, 16 

"no trees...all grey...smog...pollution...unhappiness..false love...Discontent between families.. Very rich people. ...Famine takes hold of unlucky poor people. ...Robotics... Polluted water and air...Pure water and oxygen for sale..War....No more world."
- Michelle, 16

Voice like honey.

'Home'(Michael Bublé)

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

May be surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky, I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
This was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
In either Paris or Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
And let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It'll all be all right
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home
