There are times when we find that we can’t turn away
There are times when our destiny’s calling
Some moments define what we’re trying to say
And we feel that we’ve finally stopped falling

The door has been cracked and the light has seeped in
The fear and the darkness are leaving
It’s a beacon that tells us it’s time to begin
Making change we can finally believe in

And when we are told that the journey’s too long
And the mountain’s too steep for the climb
When we’re told that we’re crazy and told that we’re wrong
When they say that we can’t win this time

I say, yes we can, yes we will
I said it before and I’m saying it still
This moment is ours, we can reach to the stars
And know that we’ll find them

Just look to the light and hold on tight
We know that it’s ours and we know that it’s right
Yes we can, yes we can, yes we will

Through so many years of confusion and fears
There were times when we all felt forsaken
Taking the blame for wars fought in our name
Watching all that we stand for be taken

We have traveled too far in the shadow of lies
We have lingered too long in the hate
But together our voices will fill up the skies
To say that it’s never too late
And when we are told that the journey’s too long
And the mountain’s too steep for the climb
When we’re told that we’re crazy and told that we’re wrong
When they say that we can’t win this time

I say, yes we can, yes we will
I said it before and I’m saying it still
This moment is ours, we can reach to the stars
And know that we’ll find them

Just look to the light and hold on tight
We know that it’s ours and we know that it’s right
Yes we can, yes we can, yes we will

Yes we can, yes we can, yes we will

Yes we can, yes we can, yes we will

We must start today to find a peaceful way
To keep our future generations safe
Everyone on Earth wants to wake and see the birth
Of abundant weath where all feed and clothed live in happiness and health
Now’s the time to make that dream come true

“Now we must beat our swords into plowshares
and spears into pruning hooks
Then nation shall not lift up sword against nation
neither shall there be war anymore”

The time is now
The dream can come true
The children of the world crying out
It’s up to you and me my friend
It’s up to me and you

I’d like to take a look in a history book
Many years from now when I am gone
Will there even be something left for me to see
And if the Worlds still here will it still be in a year
And if peace has not been found will we still be around to fight

“And we must beat our swords into plowshares
and spears into pruning hooks
Then nation shall not lift up sword against nation
neither shall there be war anymore”

“Now we must beat our swords into plowshares
and spears into pruning hooks
Then nation shall not lift up sword against nation
neither shall there be war anymore”

“Now we must beat our swords into plowshares
and spears into pruning hooks
Then nation shall not lift up sword against nation
neither shall there be war anymore”

An open heart humming in the dark
tasting the thirst for truth and justice must start
Indigo children we can break this cycle of fear
There’s a song beating in the hearts of everyone here

Free it, it’s in you, the light that comes through like a melody
turns darkness into day, that’s a HeartSong, everybody has one

But some say ‘no way’ at kindness they scoff
they kick you when you’re up and kick you to get off
and what about all the violence what if we did away with war
what we could do with all that cosmic choice

Free it, it’s in you, the light that comes through like a melody
turns darkness into day

Free it, it’s in you, the light that comes through like a melody
turns darkness into day

With equality, all genders, colors, kinds
Equality, so hard to find
Equality to free the mind

You know it’s a heart that will find you and heal everybody, everybody has one, heart , HeartSong

Peace on Earth good will to men that’s what the Bible says amen.
But peace is rare and hard to find and all the world is so unkind.
Why can’t we feel the magic everyday.

Can we live The Message all year long
Fill the air with joyous song
Sing for all the world to hear
What everybody wants this year
Is to live The Message all year long

Love and trust your fellow man it’s hard to think of anyone who can.
Imprisoned by a wall of lies let’s tear it down and claim the prize.
A world in which we all can live as one.

Can we live The Message all year long
Fill the air with joyous song
Sing for all the world to hear
What everybody wants this year
Is to live The Message all year long

A world of love and understanding an end to crime and war
Tomorrow calls on us demanding
To build the world we’ve been waiting for

Peace on Earth good will to men if not now then when
One by one face to face this family called the human race
We can bring them all together now.

Can we live The Message all year long
Fill the air with joyous song
Sing for all the world to hear
What everybody wants this year
Is to live The Message all year long
We can live the message all year long

Within the center of my heart I know I’m peace
I thank and love the world for every day I breathe
I’m willing to let it flow
And let expectations go
That’s when I really know
It comes from me

Each day I feel more worthy of what life can bring
I know that I create abundance and good things
I trust in my heart to say
This is the highest way
Its never far away
It comes from me

I live on purpose
I choose to let it flow
I make right choices
I see myself as whole

Within the center of my heart I know I’m peace
I thank and love the world for every day I breathe
I always know what to do
I know that my heart is true
To guide and to help me through
It comes from me

Ask Me why oh ask me why ask me why
Ask me why so many must die
I tell you I don’t know and that’s the truth
You see to me it does not compute.

I ask you now do you know why
Do you know why it is so many must die
Can you tell me why
man must kill his fellow man?

I’ve asked this question across this land
From the mountains high to the roaring sands
I’ve asked the young, I’ve asked the old,
I meant to ask every living soul.

Do you know why it is man must hate
Can you tell me the reason his rage won’t abate
Can you tell me why
Man must kill his fellow man.

Then one day it came to me
Why the answers I sought were so hard to see
I was asking the wrong question and all I had to do
Was turn around my point of view.

And ask not why but instead ask how
How can man live in peace with his fellow man.
How can man live in peace with his fellow man.
How can man live in peace with his fellow man.
