May peace fall upon your doorstep
And love fill the emptiness of your waiting arms
May happiness be extended to one and all
And may everyone be free to celebrate in beautiful dreams

These sound like sugar coated words
From a hopeless dreamer
A hand me down hippy
Living on burrowed wisdom

There are so many pieces of ourselves
That were never designed to last
When all is stripped away
All that are left are heartbeats and dreams

Is there one vision we can all live in together
That everyone can participate in
Where all children play
And fill the world with joyful ideas?

Maybe these thoughts are not real enough
For a world of asphalt and smoke stacks
Exhaust fumes and microwave radiation meals
We can't have become this cold, this young

Are these proper terms
To express this hurt
Or is this too imprisioning a language
To correctly convey these heavy times

We must unshackle one another
From this suffering we're tethered to
And begin to heal our wounds
In order for the world to spin

-In a less abrupt and volatile motion
