I have learned in my travels of the great web of life
Of how the entirety of existence is connected to all other parts
This intricate filigree of interactive pieces creating this reality we all share
And I know of the importance of each for the support of all
Of how the entirety of existence is connected to all other parts
This intricate filigree of interactive pieces creating this reality we all share
And I know of the importance of each for the support of all
There is nothing you can do, whether good deed or bad, that does not impact the whole
A helping hand given to one in need will spread out for generations yet to come
Spreading the unselfish love of this simple gift
And know a simple frown or distain, given in resentment or greed
Will spread the darkness and anger, weakening the all
Strike your brother and you find that the blow falls on many others
Look within and you will feel that same blow striking you
Waste the gifts life provides, and see the hunger and want growing around you
Cherish them and watch the bounty and love grow
Cherish them and watch the bounty and love grow
Allow your ego to place you above other life, seek control and power
And find yourself alone and lost, forever empty, to never have
A uncomplicated thing perhaps, this choice that we have
To hold to the love we all want, or the darkness we build
To hold to the love we all want, or the darkness we build
For me it is plain, I stride forward in each day
Make my smile a beacon, my hand open to all
And I pray you will join me, walk at my side
