Beautiful That Way 2019
Noa
2:38Wind from the east is blowing soft over the land Among the prayers at dawn, and the distant motors grind We must open up our eyes, get out of bed and hear the call But still without an answer to it all We must function, and deliver Flowing helpless down the stream On a highway, on a train We’re ruled by laws of the machine And when our soul starts singing, we’re taught to never heed the call Convinced there is no answer to it all It’s not easy to awake And in the mirror, to remove The armor that has gnawed on all that’s pure and good Standing naked, open hearted With our backs against the wall We still don’t have an answer to it all Where is all the goodness? all the gentle words to speak? If we listen to our hearts, we lose the game, we’re seen as weak We are partners, sisters, brothers No one leads more than the other Tiny pieces of the answer that we seek Generations ask the questions For our children, what remains? Will their rivers too be poisoned by the greed and pain The earth has offered blessings, sun will rise and rain will fall But we still don’t have an answer to it all But we can still choose to believe We haven’t reached the darkest night And understand that all we need Are eyes that dare to see the light Can we bravely gather round And stand before the metal gate To release, and to embrace And clean our hearts of all the hate? Our prayers at early dawn will wake compassion from her sleep For we can only find the answer When we meet
