Go Forth And Create


Children raised to rape and plunder Fallen from grace, and it's no wonder We've brought about a mighty thunder Created a beast to take us under Confused in the head, forced to fight Deceived to believe that might makes right But who gave us eyes with no power of sight? Who dealt us shadows where it once was light? It's not a matter of who is to blame But the way we waste, we should be ashamed It's not enough to say it's rules of the game Lord knows there are millions who feel the same But who feel disempowered by a scattered flock Who watch the evening news for their fix of shock Who unknowingly hide the keys to their lock And let their hearts turn to solid rock But I say to you, it's not too hard to reach Deep within your heart and pull off the leech And to stand tall with unwavering speech Don't give men fish, go out and teach! Raise your mast and sail towards love Give praise to the sun and sky up above Fit into life like a hand in a glove None can do it for you, but they can give you a shove Open your mind to the cosmic grace Drop on out of the silly rat race Take a moment to find your own true pace Don't be afraid to show your true face The moment is now, don't make haste The moment is now, to rise form the waste The moment is now, to find your place The moment is now, go forth and create!
