It's about politics sad conflicts, Living in a world you just can't fix
Holding on or letting go, Finding peace down in your soul
It's about being low or getting high, in betweens and don't know whys
Finding faith or losing ground, Learning how to live in the now
It's about cashing in or checking out, knowing when to shut your mouth
Children playing people praying, saving earth from decaying
It's about being nice, being kind, knowing when to speak your mind
Getting rich or going broke trying to breath when you want to choke
It's about moonlit nights and sunny days, the sometimes gray along the way
Talking trash or speaking truth, staying connected to your roots
It's about you and me, Them and us, Knowing who to blame and who to trust
World Emancipation and communication, Atheism and New religions
It's about dedication, determination, spreading peace to other nations
illumination and infatuation, using moments when they're given
It's about Inspiration and education, ending wars in other nations
Empathy and benevolence, compassion for the innocents
It's about enlightenment & Sacrament, convolutions for solutions
Unity and harmony, standing up for your convictions
It's about being free, knowing peace, Having faith in God within
It's about being warm or staying cold, and Knowing Love can heal the world....

I would love to hear this delivered as Spoken Word, I enjoyed the pace and the Slam, wham, here, breathlessly, is The Word.
