To every WOMAN near and far, this one's for you! May we stand in our integrity, our power, our confidence & our purpose, Always. May we remember that WOMEN are collaborators, not competition.

With all the tension in the world that can divide us, this video is a reminder that we are better together. We have a lot more in common, than we might think, and the differences only make us stronger. It is simple: if we dance through live together, we can live together.

When you live in nature, in the scent of flowers, in the blessed light of the day and the sweet dew of the morning, you don't have questions, you simply live and joy together with them. Your heart opens, you cry, cry, and your eyes are wet with dew. This is how this song was born, when your body, mind, and soul opens, God steps next to you in an unguarded moment, and pours her treasures into you.

I don’t want your pity, just help change my world, change my world.

Thank you, thank you, thank you God For the gift, the gift of life. Thank you, thank you, thank you God For the peace beyond all strife.

Blow your whistle, beat your drum, God’s new way is full of fun. Have a party, bake a cake, Everyone should celebrate.

At times we’re like old-fashioned cameras Seeing life as black or white. At times we’re like deleted scanners Printing only dull or bright.

If I think that I am wiser But you feel that you are right We don’t need a fight to settle What is black and what is white

I can’t face forgiving you, You have caused me too much pain. You have made me cry too much, We can’t be good friends again. I just want to be alone Letting my dark anger reign.

When I’m feeling hurt and angry I will let my feelings out Yelling all my pain out loudly When no others are about.

When your heart is feeling blue, Feeling blue, feeling blue, Count your blessings and give thanks, Give thanks to God.

If my eyes are full of tears, If my heart is numb with pain, Give me hope that does not die; Bring me back to life again.

(Boys) I don’t have to be king of the castle, I just want to be me. (Girls) I don’t have to be queen of the castle, I just need the courage to be,

We’re really like the onions With skins beneath our skin. Each face has ways of masking The private worlds within.

We all have stories we can share Of times of failure and success, Of highs and lows, of gold and dross, Of frugal lives and love’s excess.

Dream, dream and never give up, Hope, hope of a world to be, Work, work for justice and dreams, Put others first and set people free.

How can the time of peace come to Earth? When will all bombs be banned? How can true justice blossom in mirth? When will the violence end?

All those who choose the Way Of noble living Must seek to grow each day In joyful giving,

There are times when truth is this and partly that, When love can bind extremes to be as one, But at other times our heart says “you must choose the way Of life or death, for you and Earth today.”

Thank you God for this beautiful Earth. Thank you God for the wonder of life. Thank you God for the blessing of love.

All things are connected And everything is one, The cells within our flesh, The Moon, the stars, the Sun.
