I have listened to this album bunches of times and never really listened to the words, but today they struck me... his lyrics follow:
- People hand in hand
- Have I lived to see the milk and honey land?
- Where hate's a dream and love forever stands...
- Or is this a vision in my mind?
- ---
- The law was never passed
- But somehow all men feel they're truly free at last
- Have we really gone this far in space and time?
- Or is this a vision in my mind?
- ---
- I'm not one who make believes
- I know that leaves are green
- They only turn to brown
- when autumn comes around
- i know just what i say
- today's not yesterday
- and all things have an ending...
- ---
- But what I'd like to know
- is could a place like this
- exist so beautiful?
- Do we have to find our wings
- to fly away to the visions in our minds?
If we can all share our little bits of faith, we can move mountains. We could carve up the mountains and rivers and move mud around, and grow a lush garden paradise of an Earth. Free of hunger, free of hurricanes, free of war, with freedom of religion and freedom for all.
A preacher once told me that a mustard seed is incredibly tiny. I've never really seen one, but I'll take it on faith.
If...
- If we can just combine our little bits of faith...
- If our mustard seeds can become "mustered seeds"...
- If we can all come together for the good of mankind...
- We can grow God's lush "hurricane free" Garden Paradise.
- We can have a world of peace and prosperity
- With freedom for all
