lyrics

Here we are together after all
After all the separation and the illusion of control
A common conversation we're having now
About our survival and what's important to the soul

We were born for these times
The heart surrenders and opens wide
Pulsing with the beats of change
And bravely feeling all of the pain

The choice is ours to make now which way we go
A thousand directions and one devotion to this love
What change are we willing to make inside
Inside our collective crazy mind

We were born for these times
The heart surrenders and opens wide
Pulsing with the beats of change
And bravely feeling. And bravely feeling.
