 * Below are the words of the poem that became the lyrics of the song**:

**Lyrics to United Nations Hymn**:

Eagerly, musician. Sweep your string, So we may sing. Elated, optative, Our several voices Interblending, Playfully contending, Not interfering But co-inhering, For all within The cincture of the sound, Is holy ground Where all are brothers, None faceless Others,

Let mortals beware Of words, for With words we lie, Can say peace When we mean war, Foul thought speak- fair And promise falsely, But song is true: Let music for peace Be the paradigm, For peace means to change At the right time, as the World-Clock Goes Tick- and Tock.

So may the story Of our human city Presently move Like music, when Begotten notes New notes beget Making the flowing Of time a growing Till what it could be,

At last it is, Where even sadness Is a form of gladness, Where fate is freedom, Grace and Surprise.

As you watch the video, take notes on what you learn about the **Universal Declaration of Human Rights**: We are human and equal in the world. We should have right for education, work, freedom, speak free. The government should protect us, and we have right to vote.

media type="custom" key="14126014"

** Universal right is means the basic human rights, every one should has the same right, no matter who you are . **
‍** Some people feel that universal values or standards of behavior are impossible. What do you think? ** ** I think that is possible, because people have same universal values like the free speech. ** ** Impossible, some countries do not even have the universal right, the poor people do not fet equal treatment as normal people. **

‍** Why do you think the UN chose the word universal instead of the word international when naming the UDHR? **

=
Not many people actually take action to protect their rights. They allow others to take it away from them. We should work to keep the human right for ourselves, no one could take it away. We should respect to other, we should treat people in the same way. we have a commom culture, and we have the same language. like when we in school, we have the same treatment, we both speak english.
 * Paraphrase the final sentence of the quotation. What does it say about individual responsibility for human rights? What do you think Eleanor Roosevelt means by "concerned citizen action to uphold" rights close to home? **======

Below are the original Declaration of Human Rights and a "Student Friendly" version if you need help:
