"maybe Noa and i are just dreamers, continuing this friendship, these performances together and continuing to believe that peace in the world is possible .... but you know that in the past human beings were dreaming to reach the moon, it seemed impossible ..... but they reached it ... so maybe our dream for peace will become reality.... .....maybe noa and i are just drops of water.... but you know that drops make the oceans ...."
