lyrics

All of this prejudice is hurting my feelings
people are beautiful, regardless of their image
bursting with brilliance, the internet has got us
conversing with billions and most of it is rotten
but with a click of a button discussions we come up with could actually become something so amazing
in this day and age, changing history
healing folks holistically, new generation
informed and invasive
and you can call it what you want it
we are shapeshifting spaces
and as a catalyst for love I disassemble hatred
with this revelation I'll keep on demonstrating my compassion for the people that are migrating
the problem isn't immigrants
the problem isn't differences
the problem is the ignorance
we all have different fingerprints
some have unfair privilege
we all deserve our innocence
and we all know the saying
that "we are all one"
and now is the time to actually start living it
you have conditioned racism, start admitting it
do your best to get rid of it
you have a lot of love to give so start giving it
because we need each other right now more than ever
yeah we need each other right now more than ever

If we stick with each other
we'll put back the pieces
and all come together
and turn this shit sideways
and feed all the people
and end all this violence
and make sure the trees grow
make loud all the silence

I don't know what to do but I want to do good
want to stand up for you when there's no one looking out for people who don't perfectly fit in this game because it wasn't meant for them and isn't it a shame that people fail to see the beauty in life
connected and free is a way worth fighting for
and more positivity will bring us warmth which lightens the soul while the world gets cold
this darkness will pass but now is our time to raise our frequencies until we shine
now rise and shine
now rise and shine
now rise and shine
now
rise and shine

If our powers combine we can manifest our mind

I'm a human, you're a human
I'm a human, you're a human
I'm a human, you're a human
I'm a human, you're a human

I'm moving down my own path
I am taking
the time
to step back
and look at
all the things move
together
break the constraints of this mind
fire lakes
on a boat
timbral hues
fall forward
to a blank stare
reaction
life will go by in a flash
can't escape
from the wheel
turning time
and each moment
fills the void
brings us closer
to the end

I am awake - hope today will get better
I will make it, I won't waste it
I will take it until it's under my control
I'm awake everyday will get better
I will make it, I won't waste it
I can taste it - now is the time
I'm coming home
