Keep Going

Run through the trees, out into the wide-open spaces,
out into the free; let go of bad energy.
Run through your life with a smile on your face, happy just to be,
guard against the bad: you and I both know evil exist; oh yea,
and it is out there in full force. It’s easy to find if we go looking for it.

Learn to protect yourself; only you and the people who love you,
will watch over you, and they can't be there every moment.
You're doing good, believe in yourself, build your force shield strong.
We should find where we belong, keep our heads together,
and be a good influence on the young.

Lend a helping hand whenever we can;
make this world a better place.
Keep your body running, be kind to your heart,
and give your mind time to unwind.

We should choose to be happy and go through life with a smile on our face.
We may never get there, but it’s a choice we have to make,
and keep working towards it every day,
and maybe, just maybe, we can get a little bit closer!

PEACE OUT

Still Waters

People live, people die, and people carry on.
Bring on the heroes,
rescue the motherless children,
remove them from harm’s way,
give them a brand-new day.

Scoundrels have called the shots through fear long enough.
People need to stand together to take down the tyrants.
There can be no indecisiveness’.
How long can the world let this go on?
Enough with a handful of evil people destroying harmony.

Until young people from different backgrounds can have fun together safely,
there’s not much hope for having peace around the globe.
Still waters speak volumes.
Loud enough to deafen innocent ears.

What's Going On

Lyrics by Marvin Gaye

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - yeah

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today, oh (Oh)

Picket lines (Sister) and picket signs (Sister)
Don't punish me (Sister) with brutality (Sister)
Talk to me (Sister), so you can see (Sister)
Oh, what's going on (What's going on)
What's going on (What's going on)
Yeah, what's going on (What's going on)
Oh, what's going on

Mother, mother, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Yeah, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on - uh
Right on baby
Right on baby

Human Beings

People are so different.
We all see the same things in completely different ways.
Leave it to humans to pickle paradise!
Looking back, it’s easy to see how we
could have made towns better.
We have new technology to monitor the slightest things.
We don’t need walls or floating barriers.
We need humanity to mean more than Wall Street,
and we need to use technology
to make health, comfort, and entertainment,
more efficient for the masses.
If we create a society that can keep people happy, healthy & entertained,
they won’t be out doing bad things.
Can we rectify the seven deadly sins.
Can’t we live inside a shield of love and understanding.
People desire to work to provide for their families.
People who work a 40-hour week,
should be able to live comfortably and save for a home.
Immigration should be a beautiful thing.
If you live in the USA, and you are not a Native American Indian,
then you came form immigrants.
Can we all please learn to get along.

SHAPE THE FUTURE WITH KINDNESS

“If you are depressed,
you are living in the past.
If you are anxious,
you are living in the future.
If you are at peace,
you are living in the present.”
Lao Tao

How can one have inner peace in the present,
when there are so many people suffering.
Is this inner peace, or a lack of compassion,
Is meditation today a celebration of inner peace,
or just being grateful everything is alright for me?
Breathe deep, keep mind focused.
We are shaping the future.

Plant Some Flowers

Read the situation on the outside, before going in.
The key is to live smart before life gets too hard.
Once you get behind, life doubles down.
You got to hold your head up high, never let’um see you frown.

Don’t be too hard on yourself, plant some flowers and forgive.
Smell flowers in your dreams,
be on the wavelength with flowers blooming.
Picture yourself the way you want yourself to be,
and let nothing stand in your way and try not to get deceived.

Sometimes life will get you down.
No matter how hard you try.
You can’t control what other people do.
Let’um do as they will, but don't let them ruin you too.
