Preaching to the Choir

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.

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

In Service to Life

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)
