Under tomorrow’s world
Awaits all of our plans
Pinned to the future
Until we can stand
Sit or crawl
Get the weight off of our shoulders
If it rolls back fast
It will crush us like boulders
Walking now with a plan
We should all understand
Get a grip on life
Let’s all lend a hand
*
Build our goals till they wedge
the world toward wellness
Roll through time together
I should not have to sell this
Our vision of Atlas
Supports all the Earth
Each of our feelings
Carrying the same worth
And when we’re considerate of
All others
It lifts great pressure
that mistakenly smothers
*
Chip away at the truth
It’s right here before us
Try harder to get through
So no one ignores us
Try every time
just a little bit more
Minor details or major
Reach down to the core
If we all dig down
One shovel deeper
This extra-care gets us past
Hills that are steeper
*
We blindly climb
through another day’s hour
Reaching higher to find
Plenty and Power
Ignoring connection
Beneath the surface
Money is worshipped
Compassion seen worthless
This is not just a game
To roll laughing in the dirt
Those soaking in excess
should help ease the hurt
*
Incremental Help
*
Add it up
Every time
We make a kind caring effort
More and more things work out
Exercise of the best sort
Instead of rushing situations
to be the most self-serving
Take time to do our best for all
No case should be unnerving
Each person has feelings
and deserves the same chance
Make sure we give our most
Prepare with sharing plans
*
Not giving away my fortune
I don’t have one anyways
But I’m being nice to who I can
And encouraging better ways
Safety’s always first
and I’ll stand up to a bully
I’ll call people on what is wrong
and try to share
Fair friendship fully
*
I offer the same
Grace to supervisors
Be friendly, honest
and I despise wars
But I will declare
If their actions aren’t fair
“These rules we share!
Yet you act unaware?!”
Convention blocks personalities
If we stigmatize
Discrimination and gross hypocrisy
wreck people’s lives
*
So I take a stand
Again and again
The future I plan:
the same but less pain
All the weight is coming off
as we climb to the top
Spun back round to the bottom
And it will never stop
Until wellness is prime
And our best efforts achieve
Spreading unconditional kindness
And in a fair world we believe
