Save yourself —– Save yourself
Don’t rely on false appearance
Make a choice to see the truth
See the end of all your demons
Wake up to the call
Of your mind
Take the pulse —- Feel the heat
Make the best of this confusion
Love and passion have their day
Make a choice of higher purpose
Sing a song to show
The way
Look around you there’s no question
Lots of suffering you can see
Hunger, war, and prejudice
Exist in a world that should
Be free
What to do? What would you
Do if you knew there was hope
And you had never done your best?
I think that’s what I’ve been feeling
I will hold the world
In my caress
What’s the plan? Where do we stand?
Many tasks that we can do
You can try what you do best
Prayer, compassion, kindness, healing
Put your vow of love
To the test
See the nations, See the people
Hear their voices, feel their flames
Tapestry of life around you
Try to hear them call your name
All they want is to be happy
Only ignorance to blame
Do we have the heart to know
In our nature we are all the same?
