about

This is a song that looks at the corruption of politics, religion, morality and the environment.

lyrics

I still have a dream and in that dream
I am reaching out to you
I can hear earth’s mortal scream
And I ask “what can I do?”

We think that we have seen it all before
But know it’s not the same
Halls of power lined with many doors
This is more than just a game

1st chorus:
You’ve told us that we shall not kill
We still ignore your words with skill
Our double standard’s nothing new
With my hand I’m reaching out... I’m reaching out to you
I’m reaching out to you
I’m reaching out to you
I’m reaching out to you

I know there is meaning in The Word
But do I hear you right?
So many say they’ve heard
But live in fear and cannot see the light

I dream of life force loved by all
With each persuasion's blessing fully grown
I dream of peace that will enthrall
When we export our kindness, all we own...

2nd chorus:
You told us that we shall not steal
We bear false witness as we kneel
Our double standard’s nothing new
With my hand I’m reaching out... I’m reaching out to you
I’m reaching out to you
I’m reaching out to you
I’m reaching out to you
