"‘And The Healing Has Begun’ always made me feel it would be the song we would sing in the North when the war ended. When sectarianism and hatred stopped being bred into the youth – the only culture some people there still have. Children are born with love and play in their hearts; hate and violence are passed down in the poison cup. If peace feels like a song, it feels like ‘And The Healing Has Begun’."
