9. The Update

   Letra

   I can hear the trumpets blowing screaming out the end of time Look around and listen and you'll see every sign The waters are polluted as the forests are cut down Bombing and drilling deep below ground Check the prophecies from around the world And look around now as it all unfurls Look into yourself and see what goes on Get a feeling in your heart of the right from wrong Because the mother earth needs to be respected Been far from too long that she's been neglected Race against race, such a foolish waste It's like cutting off your nose to spit your face And at the end of the wars, what was the cost It's clear that the earth was the one who lost We are one with her as she is one with us It's unreal how she is treated so unjust As our planet grows smaller each and every day Everyone affecting everyone in every way We're all citizens of the worl community All here together and we're searching for unity Over the years, i've grown and changed so much Things i know now years ago, i couldn't touch There are things i've done that i wouldn't do again But i'm glad that i did 'cause i've learned from them I just try to stay present right here, right now No worries, no fears and without any doubts It's about time 'cause in these times, these changing times A transition is occuring and i am not blind As the pendlum swings a new age we enter And with every swing, it draws closer to the center Yes the storm before the calm and the wars that lead to love Things must run their course so we push and we shove But we're here to work it out in one way or another To find a mutual respect for ourselves and one another And the true key is a trust in self For when i trust myself, i fear no one else I took control of my life, just as anyone can I want everyone to see it's in the palm of your hand The past is gone, the future yet unborn But right here and now is where it all goes on I know we can fix it and it's not too late I give respect to king and his nonviolent ways I dream and i hope and i won't forget Someday i'm going to visit on a free tibet Someday i'm going to see us all joined as one And it would be too bad to blow it up before we're done 'cause we long behind the rage learning from the pain The love behind the tension like the sun behind the rain I'm sending loving light to all that is To all creation and the life we live I'm not preaching bull shit, just speaking my mind 'cause i'm here now and it's about time
