lyrics
Verse 1:
As I flow with the waves in the sea they call life,
I let go of the masses of stress and strife,
contradicting notions, lost values at their height,
light-weight principles, diminishing insights
Starlight, let me take you inside
the city-wide, nation-wide, world-wide
universal laws and take you for a ride
Unfold your eyes to the tiniest size
of particles, be humble and let your visions rise
to the sharpness of knowingness the specks that move about you
Everything and nothingness inevitably surrounds you
Yes, you're a part of this so see the potential bliss
in yourself, in the leaves, in the grass, in the kiss
Kiss of sun rays and beams of moon glow
warmed by the peace, as above so below
Chorus:
Oh can't you see the walls are breaking down
So c'mon be yourself because the time is now
Free from fear and brave at heart are yours to start
Love yourself today or you just might fall apart
Love yourself first and the rest will follow (don't fall apart)
Gotta make that move even if it takes slow (don't fall apart)
A storm may brew but we must stay mellow (don't fall apart)
Keep in touch with the real, as above so below (don't fall apart)
Verse 2:
Don't you know it's insane and in vain staying down
on your own being, you shine brighter than a crown
Get aligned with your beliefs, keep searching till you stumble
upon your inner gems, all yours so be thankful
for who and what you are, you can melt your ice of sorrows
Hate, eliminate it, ain't a part of your escrow
Stomp to the beat of pride, only you can decide
to release and let go old tears that have dried
Unearth your joy, sip from the cup of dignity
Evaporate unnecessary negativity
Why hurt yourself? There's no wound left to bleed
Listen to your higher power, take heed her creed
After all, your her hope, her one planted seed
well cultivated for the day that you may lead
uncharted territories, like minds united
Rewrite our history with new sense ignited
Chorus
