There’s a beautiful place in our minds,

Deeper than hatred or fear;

There’s a beautiful space in our hearts

Filled with God’s wisdom and care.

 

Sacred places within are like doors

Opening for those who let go

Till revenge and abuse are transformed,

Changing to songs lovers know.

 

Dwelling deep in our beautiful space

Caring has gifts we can share,

Peace for people and love for the Earth,

Reverence for water and air.

 

All our breathing inhales vibrant life.

Each of our breaths has its song.

Weaving love round oppressors’ dark pains

Melts every cycle of wrong.

 

There’s a beautiful place in our minds,

Deeper than hatred or fear;

There’s a beautiful space in our hearts

Filled with God’s wisdom and care.
