V1: I know I'm preaching to the choir But this is where we learn to sing To get our voice heard in this chaos We'll need perfect harmony Because our melody's the sweetest If only everyone could hear it There's be peace on earth for ages No more children trapped in cages Interlude 1: But I still feel alone in this Won't you lend your voice? Cause I wanna be bright I wanna be kind I wanna be strong Cause I'm gonna do it right this time V2: They say I'm preaching to the choir But this is where the work begins Won't you join me in the garden Where the ancient wisdom lives We'll grow abundance with our neighbors Live in reciprocity Cant eat money, don't drink oil We've got everything we need Interlude 2: And I know this sounds too simple But the fact remains it is We gotta be bright We gotta be kind We gotta be strong Because were gonna do it right this time. V3: So when you're preaching to your choir May you find the perfect words To share your vision of the future And your more beautiful world For the seven generations And seven billion mouths to feed Can we bloom where we are planted? Are we humans or machines? My body knows the answer If you listen yours does too So were gonna be alive Were gonna be the one's we've waited for We will not gonna go gently Into the night Outro: Creator we are here together In service to life forever Put us on the good red road Remind us how to heal our home Bring us to the now forever In harmony with mother nature We never need to feel alone When the whole world's our home Creator we are here together In service to life forever Put us on the good red road Remind us how to heal our home Bring us to the now forever In harmony with mother nature Remind us of the morning light Even in the coming night Bring us to the now forever 4x May it be so

V1: They say I'm preaching to the choir But have we truly tried to sing? To get our voice heard in this chaos We'll need better harmony Because our melody's the sweetest If only everyone could hear it There's be peace on earth for ages No more children trapped in cages Interlude 1: But I still feel so small in this Wont you lend a hand Cause I wanna be bright I wanna be kind I wanna be strong Cause I'm gonna do it right this time V2: I know I'm preaching to the choir But this is where the work begins Won't you join me in the garden Where the ancient wisdom lives Let's grow abundance with our neighbors Live in reciprocity Cant eat money dont drink oil We've got everything we need Interlude 2: And I know this sounds too simple But the fact remains it is We gotta be bright We gotta be kind We gotta be strong Because were gonna do it right this time. V3: So when you're preaching to your choir May you find the perfect words To share your vision of the future And your more beautiful world For the seven generations And seven billion mouths to feed Can we bloom where we are planted?

123 God 03:13
Forgive us Mother Earth Bless us Father Sky Show us Sister Science and Guide us Brother Mind Spare us Cousin Karma from Uncle Dogma's Pride Speak Grandmother Galaxies while there's still Grandfather Time I am that I am that I am Patriarch Polarity illuminate our path But spare us of extremities that tear our minds in half Matriarch Morality can we find you in our hearts Or do you really need religion to tell us all apart I am that I am And I know that I know And I'll find or be found and I'll be sure to let you know Cause you are that you are But you've seen how we've been So if it takes a saint to save us, then I pray that I am that I am Are we stuck to the earth or will we stretch beyond the skies? We'll never know how far we'll grow if our roots are running dry Oh 10,000 things, oh singularity, from the Sacred Word to the big bang heard please lead us to the light... cause we are that we are that we are Children of the future, elders of the past Are the warriors of the present capable at last? To lead our ragtag family into the great unknown until a species wide agreement to regenerate our home I hope so because I am that I am And I know that I know And I'll find or be found and I'll be sure to let you know Cause you are that you are But you've seen how we've been So if it takes a saint to save us, then I pray that you are and I pray that you believe That I am God Thou art God It's all God and it's not 2x It's all beautiful It's all true it's all good except when it's not It's all hideous It's all falsehood It's all wickedness but it's what we've got so in case you forgot... I am that I am And I know that I know And I'll find or be found and I'll be sure to let you know Cause you are that you are But you've seen how we've been So if it takes a saint to save us, Then I pray that I am and I pray that you are hell I pray we all are but I pray most of all to Mother Earth Father Sky Sister Science Brother Mind Cousin Karma Uncle Dogma Grandma Galaxies and Great Grandfather Time

Verse 1: When the morning light reveals us And our consequence is clear And all our our fruitless aspirations Are hanging heavy in the air Will we rise like lions after slumber? Rage against the dying light? Be the change we're here to offer? Be a lighthouse in the night? Cause we are walking into darkness With lights upon our back People trusting in our senses With a compass but no maps (Chorus) In service to Life we find our answer Look again not all is lost See the endless gifts of nature Through the power of your love And I'm not saying there's no darkness But there's a silver lining there We can release what doesn't serve us End distraction and despair The living Earth, wants us whole And there will be blessings Like there've been for me And there will be healing Like there is for us Verse 2: So pack your bags and don't look backwards I can I tell you've done your work You are the change you're here to offer You are the dreamer woken up Shambhala warriors are arising Fulfilling prophecies of old So gather your sisters and your cousins Turn your selves to solid gold We are walking into darkness With lights upon our backs And we can get through damn near anything If we're grounded in our task (Chorus) In service to Life we find our answer Look again not all is lost See the endless gifts of nature Through the power of your love And I'm not saying there's no darkness But there's a silver lining there We can release what doesn't serve us End distraction and despair The living Earth, wants us whole And there will be blessings Like there've been for me And there will be healing Like there is for us (Outro) In service to life (i am) In service to life (you are) In service to life (we're all) In service to life (it's all)
