i wrote this as a clarion call to local communities to renew themselves and take creativity and power back that has been relinquished to governments and big corporations. saving the world is also a "small" task..
looking at the world of today, the financial mess, the envirnmental distaster the global economy is driving, the realization is that too much power and wealth lie in too few hands and it is up to the smaller local communities to reclaim their productivity through the realization of their gifts.
a
song to call for a groundswell of local responsibility
have you no-ticed
in all these re-cent de-cades
have you no-ticed it all in peo-ple's fa-ces
that some-thing has tru-lu be-come do-mi-nant
that some-thing is eat-ing at our souls!
you may ask why
we've be-come so greed-y
why al-low it to turn us in-to slaves
why this thing that can-not fill our sto-machs
leaves most of hu-ma-ni-ty de-praved, de-praved, de-praved?
it's up to us
to re-a-lize our worth
to oc-cu-py our hearts
it is right here where it starts
it's up to us to sanc-ti-fy the earth
to bring to light our gifts
so a new world has a chance
so a new world has a chance
a new world has a chance
have you no-ticed
a world of pro-pa-gan-da
for us to buy, con-sume con-sume con-sume
have you no-ticed this world of com-pe-ti-tion
where on-ly few can e-ver e-ver win?
do you feel the
gro-wing piles of debt
how we sell our souls just to get set
do you pray to the god of end-less growth
there's no sa-viour to raise this sink-ing boat sin-king boat sin-king boat
it's up to us
to re-a-lize our worth
to oc-cu-py our hearts
it is right here where it starts
it's up to us to sanc-ti-fy the earth
to bring to light our gifts
so a new world has a chance
so a new world has a chance
a new world has a chance
no one should
pro-fit form the air we breathe
god's earth is no one's pri-vate pro-per-ty
the lar-ger should ne-ver take con-trol con-trol
of what the smal-ler, of what the smal-ler
can pray well do it by them-selves!
it's up to us
to re-a-lize our worth
to oc-cu-py our hearts
it is right here where it starts
it's up to us to sanc-ti-fy the earth
to bring to light our gifts
so a new world has a chance
so a new world has a chance
a new world has a chance
a new world has a chance
a new world has a chance
a new world has a chance
a new world has a chance
a new world has a chance
