Trying to Repair the World in a Whisper
We need to take care of eachother
(spread a little love)
we need to be conscious
(thank the energy from above)
if you see me on the street...pass a smile
or whistle me a tune
because I'll do the same when I bump into
you. Dance wild, like no one's around
Sing Sing Sing... Sing out loud.
Release all that you think you know
feed off the vibes of strangers & freinds
let your soul grow & make your ammends.
Radiate delicate laughter
through the breeze like a song
so i can sit back and hum right along.
Remember, when we leave here
only our footprints are left in the sand
be excellent to the earth, wind, and sea
and in your thoughts- and excellence will
set you spinning childlishly Free.
