A SIMPLE SONG
It's a simple song to sing
Doesn't take remembering
Stop thinking; that's the start
Then drop into your heart and
Love, just
Love
________________
It's easier than war
Costs less, that's for sure
It makes things that are healthier for men. You're
asking how can I
Love what I despise? Stop
judging first, the doors will open then. You'll
be the child you were in love again
________________
Lennon, King and Gandhi, Walt
Disney, Christ and Barney
Every mother, son and daughter too are
asking you and me, to
see if we can be the
planet our grandkids will wake up to
A world where everyone says, "I love you."
_______________
Put an end to accepting
The voices injecting
Upset and fear
That drive you insane
And originate
From between your ears
Take a breath and relax
Check out the facts
You got nothing to lose
In this final act
Living in love
Can bring us all back to the
Garden
_____________
Yes, everyone is different, but
everyone's the same. We
all want certainty, but that can't be
Until we each become
The me in me that loves
On the other side of fear you will see
That loving you is really loving me
___________
It's a simple song to sing. Doesn't
take remembering. Stop
thinking; that's the start. Then
drop into your heart, and
love.
