(A Beautiful Revolution) Outro Lyrics

What is a beautiful revolution?
A beautiful revolution
A beautiful revolution is when old and out dated ideas
Are replaced by new and better ones
Everybody is in peace, everybody shaking hands
A beautiful revolution? The earth going around the sun
It's a beautiful thing
The truth is revolution can be small
It's in the stillness and it can be painful and warm
Because it's happening on the inside first
It can't happen out there unless it's happening in here
A beautiful revolution is a truthful revolution
A revolution that balances the extremes of inner and outer
You know? Light and dark, good and evil
Masculine, feminine
Black, white
People were able to change other people's minds without any loss of life
And without any shedding of any blood
That's a beautiful revolution
That's what a beautiful revolution looks like to me

And finally, we take us back
The boat, and the big house
My body, my thoughts
Our words, our fate
My people, our peace
My people come
Sit down for a spell
We gather to announce our freedom
Unafraid to turn our backs
And we can breathe
And nobody wants us dead
And we are free to rest and tend our wounds
Give us this day to grieve who we could have been
Give us this day to bless the Atlantic floor
To worship what was stolen
Give us more than survival
We fists glistening with blue magic and black glory
Only roses in our mouths
We pray like this
We make us safe
We can breathe
We give us breathe
And we, is us again
Amen
