I Have a Dream

I have a dream
This afternoon
The sun is shining on us still
We need to summon all our skill
We need to, each of us, rethink
For dying oceans have begun to stink
And hurricanes, and forest fires
So many species gone extinct
We must rethink our current course
And Each of us, responsible
Our choices in our day-to-day
Are what will shift this outcome

(Chorus)
I have a dream
And though it seems
So hopeless sometimes
I'll keep dreaming
Join us
Someday
Join us!
NOW, today!

I have a dream
That each of us
Will grow our own
And spin and weave and sew our own
For corporations, governments
Our centralized societies
Are leaving each of us dependent
Impotent, in-debt
As profits grow for these gargantuan
Behemoths-- ecosystems die
And I -- I have a Dream (chorus)

I have a Dream
That Gandhi's Vision--
Passed to him from Tolstoy
Passed along to Martin Luther King
So many others
Share this Vision
Now's the time
For each of us
To take responsibility
For all our choices
Now's the time
To face the facts
It's time to act
It's time to recognize
The Status Quo
Destructive
Will destroy this Awesome Priviledge
We call Life (chorus)
