I Sit up in My Window

I sit up in my window

And look towards the sun

Urged to write this song to touch the ears of everyone

The TV ticker's looping

The words I've seen before

Conquer and divide, not gonna buy it anymore

Well I'm just one and you're just one, but if we can agree

And one day become a million, so much we can achieve

I tell you we can change the world, the power's at our feet

Watch the ripples travel and across the oceans meet

So I'm calling all my brothers

My sisters stand with me

We have a voice, we have a role, it's our humanity

Let the powers that be do their thing

And we can do ours too

Blame is not constructive there's so much that we can do

The environment, well you know the score, we have to scale back

Why would we choose to gas ourselves, what lunacy is that?

Solutions they are everywhere, let's give these guys a voice

Make the corporations listen and provide a greener choice

Bring on a groovy electric car, diversify the crops

Learn from Mother Nature, the Genius of the lot

Stop buying and buying and needing more

It's time to trim the fat

The best things in life are free my friend

You won't miss half the crap

War can only lead to war, seen time and time again

Two sides believing they're both right, will fight until the end

Someone must be ready, to extend the hand of peace

To break the vicious cycle is a strength beyond belief

If someone guns a man down

Or maybe it's a child

The bloodline doesn't stop there

The blood runs far and wide

The women they are screaming

The men break down and cry

Then go and find a gun to hit back

Right between the eyes

What one does to the World

He does unto himself

So think before you act my friend

Think of the consequence

When you're faced with hostility

Disputes or disdain

Think if you were in their shoes

Might you feel the very same?

We started off as babies, we started off the same

Depending on your place of birth you're sold a different game

So don't believe everything you think or everything you've read

The memes we've learnt from day one are from someone else's head

The TV ticker's looping

Still churning out the same

I shake my head and wonder will it always be this way?

I sit up in my window

Such beauty in full sight

Thank you all for listening, I hope these words take flight

I'm calling all my brothers, my sisters stand with me

Cause I have a dream that one day we might live in harmony

It's not science fiction baby, I hope that you'll agree

Let's sow the seeds of love and be the change we wanna see

It's in our reach

Reach for the stars

Let's chart a course brand new

Cause I've never lived through a time

Where disaster hasn't loomed

My heart it is beaming now

You'll see it from the moon

Like Batman's signal shining

Every time you play this tune
