I see the people hurting I hear the people striving feel the heavy burden we carry in this urban solitary maze everyone seems to move along their merry ways where no one seems to care about what other people have to say the change we want to see has to start from within ranging from internally shifting awareness understanding our opinion matters difference comes when you can realize the patterns you enact then the choice is yours on how your voice will impact unless all you hear is silence

We have no more time for personal censorship with all life on the line in this sinking ship it’s our time to redesign and rebuild to stop the violence and the thousands of children that have been killed to stop valuing to world in dollar bills exchanging material and spiritual resources for landfills yet so many stand still afraid of a truth thats plain to see that there can be no liberty without an end to apathy so
Stand up with all the courage that you hold in your heart
Stand up because hatred is what tears us apart
Stand up for each other reach out to one another be the change you want to see and believe in one another

Words of peace that are spoken but never heard lost scattered broken into pieces covered in dirt discarded degraded made to be viewed as absurd but hold the truth like the wind drifting under the wings of a bird giving flight to the message to show everyone there is hope for a future of opportunity where we won’t have to cope with poor standards of living giving everything back that we can stopping all this hate and fear and violence its time for us to stand up

What if history was measured by acts of love instead of acts of war do you think we’d leave so many poor and lead so many more to die in war what’s it for and why are we so busy at shopping malls and retail stores when there’s so much more to this life that we’ve been given critical thought is what we’re missing caught up in the spin the media’s dishing so listen to your own truth and inner wisdom and stop letting political correctness accentuate our divisions.
Stand up with all the courage that you hold in your heart
Stand up because hatred is what tears us apart
Stand up for each other reach out to one another be the change you want to see and believe in one another
