We Can Do This
We’ve burned the contract, abandoned the plan
Where fear and hate reigned, trust and love will stand
A new way begins where led with the heart
And rising above to see every part
Acting from the whole, not separation
Heart beating as one with every nation
We turn our eyes to healing our brothers
Put down our old swords, bury our druthers
The pathway there requires that we each see
Our nod to fear individually
And holding hands, yet one by one by one
Release the fears until they are undone
It’s time my sisters, let’s wait no longer
Where once was fear and hate, love is stronger
So come, come with the new way of being
Choose only the good and pure for seeing
It is fear alone that bars love’s flowing
Fear’s time is done, love pure is now growing
Eschew all fear, washing all in love true
We can do this together, me and you
