Στίχοι

[Verse 1]
I've been thinking a lot about some of the distressing issues
That we are facing collectively
And I think, at times, we feel or are made to feel
That we champion different causes
[Verse 2]
But, for me, I see commonality
I think, whether we're talking about gender inequality
Or racism or queer rights
Or indigenous rights or animal rights
We're talking about the fight against injustice
We're talking about the fight against the belief
That one nation, one people, one race
One gender, or one species
Has the right to dominate, control
And use and exploit another with impunity
[Verse 3]
I think we've become very disconnected from the natural world
And many of us, what we're guilty of is an egocentric world view
The belief that we're the centre of the universe
We go into the natural world and we plunder it for its resources
We feel entitled to artificially inseminate a cow
And when she gives birth, we steal her baby
Even though her cries of anguish are unmistakeable
And then we take her milk that's intended for her calf
And we put it in our coffee and our cereal
[Verse 4]
And I think we fear the idea of personal change
Because we think that we have to sacrifice something
To give something up
But human beings at our best are so inventive and creative and ingenious
And I think that when we use love and compassion as our guiding principles
We can create, develop and implement systems of change
That are beneficial to all sentient beings and to the environment
[Verse 5]
I have been a scoundrel all my life
I've been selfish
I've been cruel at times
Hard to work with
And I'm grateful that so many of you in this room have given me a second chance
And I think that's when we're at our best
When we support each other
Not when we cancel each other out for past mistakes
But when we help each other to grow
When we educate each other
When we guide each other toward redemption
That is the best of humanity
