Peace
We are humanity
Fire: you are the light and energy that warms us;
the power that drives our machines
and the molten pulse beneath our feet.
Water: you nourish and cool our bodies and
you flow through our veins and cleanse us
Air: you are our breath and we ride your
currents with our words
Earth: you are our provider and Home
We are the children of this planet
We have come to this hour to face a new day!
1. Acknowledge
We are all brothers and sisters
No longer stewards of this planet, but co-creators
From histories of discovery,
construction and destruction
construction and destruction
We have shaped this world
2. Release
The tribes of man converge
To shed all barriers of stature, race
color, creed and history
color, creed and history
We celebrate our union in diversity
The light of truth shines forth:
Illumination breaks the darkness of greed
fear and ignorance
fear and ignorance
We revel in the liberation
The mother is reborn
A sacrifice of self to be for all
Brethren to all life
Peace
3. Awaken
We are One
Children to one planet
With one creed: Love
Peace
4. Return
We are the children of this universe
We emanate the light of the new day!
I am (your name) and I resonate (your intention) for humanity and our planet.
