lyrics

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?
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
