THANKU-21 (© d. first 2020)

This is the moment we prayed for
These are the days been delayed so long
The lost nights we froze in our fright all while
Courageous skilled savers of life stayed strong

The future has finally returned
The seasons of reason are rolling in
The right of the people to resist and shout
The right to feel safe in your skin

We thank you for this creation
Your will be done
In a daze what amazing strangers deep inside
Have bound as one
And wherever we go we’re mending
The great divides
To lean on each other

Every body
Every body
Every body
Every body
Moving
Moving
Moving
Moving forward

We call on the hostiles to stand down
Stop fossiled apostle’s impunity
Accept our emerging collective choice
Show us your hope for some unity

We’ll holler from the top of the high hills
We will stand on the shoulders of elders gone
Saluting the youth for their sacrifice
Together we’ll be chanting a song

We thank you for your creation
It will be done
In a blaze what amazing strangers tuned to tribes
Have bound as one
And whenever we go defending
The spirit spent
We hold up each other

Every body
Every body
Every body
All you bodies rise

We circle the sun by the moon-full
Scoping the stars in the galaxies
We may be just specks in the Universe
Celibate cells in the cosmic seas

But there’s jewels in the joy we disburse
And as our reflected vibrations sprawl
We’re psychically spinning in sacred states
And deserving of dignity all

We thank you for our creation
This will be done
In a gaze what amazing strangers grooms and brides
Have bound as one
And however it goes we know that
We’re not alone
We hang on each other

Every body
Every body
Every body
Every body
Every body
Every body
Every body
Every body
Rising
Rising
Rising
Rising upward dance

We can dance
We can dance
We can dance

These are the days we prayed for
The future is returning
We’ll stand on elders’ shoulders
And chant our song together
