lyrics

we losing prophets in the name of profit, dollars and cents
promise of greener grass has got us hopin' the fence
but if you focus all your vision, gaze off in the dist
unfazed still remain eternal optimists

rockin' a fist, each Tommie Smiths in individual ways
just everyday people whom in each and every way
heeded what Mary say, plus Peter and Paul
to plant a seed and sit back like a cedar grow tall
fall, spring from the winter, bring from our mentors
lessons learned and turned into a current day venture
centered on the sense that everybody is a star
expect better than when on the course to play par
are we a distinct entities or does this energy
connect each of us edges blurred by the symphony
speak simply a sense of sympathy i try
to break down the fence and take a stand like Sly

we losing prophets in the name of profit, dollars and cents
promise of greener grass has got us hopin' the fence
but if you focus all your vision, gaze off in the dist
unfazed still remain eternal optimists

call it a tryst that's gone and been scheduled by fate
searching for strength to go and just carry the weight
whats on our plate is more than just a flash or a fad
a fact of nature: what faced our parents intact
in the back where its dark but spark like a live wire
still music inspires, desire to take you higher
like a friar dedicated to his call we all feel
love, hate, compassion, compulsion, its all real
all kneel to the strength of the spirit of people
power inside us all that rivals that of a regal
feel the weight that is love begin to motivate movement
as the truth echoes through come on and dance to the music
