silence pt. 1 (when we say "we") Song Lyrics

Silence

Not in my lifetime I know
I know I know
Not in my lifetime

Not in my lifetime I know
I know I know
Not in my lifetime

Travel time

1 2 3 4 1 2 let you hear it
3 4 1 feel it and hear it
3 4 2 feel it and be it
3 4 5 1 2

I am wrapped within you
I spread my roots into all your limbs
And my voice all around you
Cells vibrating without and within

Not in my lifetime I know

There's a secret that I keep
When you think that I am weeping
I am one drop in the ocean
One toe in the ground
One fist of many fingers

Why would I claim my little piece of the pie
She said change yourself to change the world*
And I am gonna try

*"To make a revolution, people must not only struggle against existing institutions. They must make a philosophical, spiritual leap and become more 'human' human beings. In order to change, transform the world, they must change/transform themselves." — Grace Lee Boggs, Living for Change
