lyrics

There’s a wave of walking wounded
Abusing the Bill of Rights
Twisting truth with terror
Our Constitutions light
Selling souls for profit
Building wealth on wars
Grounding growth in love
We can calm the storms…and I say….

CHORUS
Power to the peaceful
Power to the pure
Power to the people
Calling for the cure
And I say power to the Presence
Love’s rebirth
Power to the peaceful
Creating the new earth

We’ve been surrounded in secrets
Polarized in pain
Falling from the freedoms
Our founding Father’s named
Beneath this blind behavior
Rising in our eyes our eyes
Is love, life and liberty
In the wisdom of the wise I say …..

I’m not slave to a puppet master
Pulling on my strings
With love I cut the chords
Letting independence sing
And I sing love, love

Are we holding to our history
The Declarations sacred ground
Are we serving our serenity
To a government going down
It’s time we take our taxes
Back into our own hands
Raising up the voices
That brings peace to the land
