And love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love
in INSPIRATION
"We rise and fall and light from dying embers, remembrances
that hope and love last longer
And love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love cannot be killed
or swept aside.
Now fill the world with music, love and pride."
- Lin-Manuel Miranda
