Hold the light Send the light through the earth to the stars universe is connected by the light hold the light All that we want to do is take the chains off all that we want to do is be free and we have nothing left to loose but our chains when we realize we are made of light

Scalia 04:50
Energies around me keep me up at night They make the decision when to show the light Love is all around me there is always light Although you dont see it it is in your life All the priests are drinking in their thrones on high Pouring glasses of blood without batting eyes They have seen the throats slit they go to sleep at night To the cries of the ghosts who they owe life They should leave the throne now we dont need their lie All the ways of being Choosing what feels right Is not a hard decision Its the key to a healthy life

Until we remember how to design Until we show a deep understanding Until We're no obsessed with the new Ant hills that wash away Brand new then gone today Bring back our history Remember what to be How can we possibly grow strong out of a foundation so weak Look at all those prefab homes where the fields and forests used to be Now more buildings crumbling The architects are atrocities Amnesiac society with foundations that keep crumbling But you cant erase myself from me I see what our world can be The genocide and slavery cannot stop us from evolving Fuck your buildings crumbling Your foundation shitty scene You have scarred more than the land with all the blood thats on your hands The terror shows up in your face and youre unable to erase all f the harm that you have done it will be healed by the sun Nature is in you and me and we will find a way to breathe from our relatives the plants and trees and you are not the asshole that you have been taught to be
4.
Brother we are eternal friends In temporary human shells Brother I have been shown this We are not trapped here forever They cannot trap us forever This is a sick world We have to work to get well Realize beauty realize how the world heals This is a sick world We have to work to get well Realize beauty do what you can to help heal

Overcome 02:04
I see the inner fear It stares me in the face and in this despair and terror I know I am free Free from all delusion Free from contradiction Free from pretentious exclusion free from slavery Cause when you fight your slaves They no longer obey Its only through manipulation youll find that they behave I see the nazis play with their guns and empty mandates And in their diluted grandeur I welcome their defeat We'll fight you with our songs We will fight you with our feet We will fight you with our hearts We will overcome your disease

In western society criminals show the art criminals take the stage criminals steal the show Western Society does not deal with you unless your acts are criminal or unless you nurture other people's crimes Other people's crimes carried on you back for the benefit of western society
7.
Let the birds in the bushes sing Let the ground rest beneath your feet Let the patterns of nature be A professor to you and me Let the land be the land Let the trees on the mountain stand Let the creek from the spring run clean Let the river run to the sea Let it give life to you and me Let the land be the land
8.
Refugee 02:53
All these small steps that Ive taken have become so easy to erase It is not the first foundation that Ive had ripped out from under me It is a familiar story to the migrant transplant refugee You loose everything that you have then you get real good at rebuilding But what is the dignity of a life full of imperanencies When my body's dead and gone will you remember me contributing
9.
We were riding on our bikes and staying up until the sunlight Transmitting channeled sounds and always celebrating new life We were dancing with the ghosts inside a dance that never stops We were climbing on the rooftops we were spray painting the skylights We left messages on your window saying to follow your heart We left messages on your window saying to believe yourself We left messages on you window there were spirals in the sky From when we were dancing with the ghosts inside a dance that never stops
