WAR is NOT a spiritual preference (except to the insane)
WAR is NOT a spiritual orientation (except to the Merchant of Chaos)
WAR is NOT a spiritual experience (except to those who die)
open our eyes together and we will dream
open our fists today and we will build
open our doors tonight and we will sing
open our eyes/fists/doors
or (close our eyes and never mind
(close our fists and build collateral damage
(close our doors and scream
oh no
open our eyes/fists/doors
send our prayers to the front lines
send our light to the front lines
send our truth to the front lines
send us
and we will build for beauty
and for freedom
and for love
send us
