"If I don't have the moral courage to challenge authority... we don't have journalism." - James Foley, 1973 - 2014. The real journalism, the constant search for truth, the journalism that empowers the poor and the weak, that has no fear of politicians and other corrupt criminals, not the "journalism" that spreads fake alt-right news and lies, supporting those who have the power to censor journalism and fight against the freedom of the press. "Journalism can never be silent: that is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs of horror are still in the air." - Henry Anatole Grunwald (Yes, he was a Republican, but would never support censorship and "fake news".) https://www.romper.com/p/this-james-foley-quote-at-the-2017-oscars-is-import... The Oscar version is shorter than these lyrics, has fewer verses, but it's very sweet and heartbreaking the same. ====== The Empty Chair - Sting https://youtu.be/Vp9NfalTHqg If I should close my eyes, that my soul can see And there's a place at the table that you saved for me So many thousand miles over land and sea I hope to dare, that you hear my prayer And somehow I'll be there It's but a concrete floor where my head will lay And though the walls of this prison are as cold as clay But there's a shaft of light where I count my days So don't despair of the empty chair And somehow I'll be there Some days I'm strong, some days I'm weak And days I'm so broken I can barely speak There’s a place in my head where my thoughts still roam Where somehow I've come home And when the Winter comes and the trees lie bare And you just stare out the window in the darkness there Well I was always late for every meal you'll swear But keep my place and the empty chair And somehow I'll be there And somehow I'll be there
