Lyrics
Is it any wonder
You feel the way you do
Caught up in this strange regime
You know it isn’t true
But nothing ever happens
Until you let go what’s inside
The outside’s a reflection
Of the shadow that you hide
Open up your weary heart
There’s more that you can do
The voice you knew so well
Is calling out to you
But nothing ever changes
Till you let go of the past
The outside’s a reflection
Of a change that’s coming fast
It’s time to listen
Its time to believe
Time to remember
Let go and breathe
Time to listen
Its time to believe
Time to remember
Let go and breathe
Breath by breath
Breath by breath
Breath by breath
Breath by breath
What we need is a new revolution
Based on natures constitution
Equality for every women, man and child
And every creature that lives in the wild
It doesn’t matter that you are different to me
We all belong to this earth family
Whatever your gender your race or your class
We gotta get past ‘them and us’
Then maybe one day the story will stop
And the bars in our minds will all simply drop
We’ll all see the world with eyes that are free
And live in the way nature meant us to be
We got to find ways to share the wealth
For us and every other being’s natural health
Where every single life on earth is sovereign
To build a story we can start to believe in
So let it all go and be blessed in nature
No better or worse than any other creature
Be at peace and let go of your strife
Take your place in the web of life
