It's As If I Willed The Sun To Rise Today...

It’s as if I willed the sun to rise today

The morning makes a bold declaration

As we parley a pact with mutual intention

To live and love as one

To co-exist without restraint, cooperate

It’s the dance of what is and is to come

Fully discovering the mystery of being human

I stumble trying to keep in perfect time 

I am man and I am woman

I am old and I am young

I am friend and I am enemy

I am alone and I am many

Fully moving to the mystery of being human

Yesterday I sold my soul to all that is evil

History’s gaffes repeated till

This morning I willed the sun to rise

An effort to make all wrongs right

Some broken beyond repair

Fully accepting being human

Never giving up or giving in

It’s as if I willed the sun to rise again

The morning makes a bold declaration

As we parley a pact with mutual intention

To live and love as one
