We Are Good

Early morning, rising with the sun
Resting where the sky meets the earth
Feeling the first rays of sunlight reach into my soul
Where they reinstate the sense of my own self-worth
If you're not good, you're bad - that's far too black and white
Behold the glorious sun in all it's radiance bright
It too at times is obscured by the thick blue veil of night
Still the moon and all the stars continue to reflect its light

And so it is that we are good
Though we do not always do as we should
We lose track of right and wrong
And we're not always standing strong
But still, don't you wanna believe
In things that eyes do not perceive
Like our light shining from within
That in a battle with our darkness can win

The gates of heaven open up before me
As my heart is given wings and flies
Leaving all pretense behind, everything is crystal clear
Even the worry of uncertainty subsides
They say the time will come for us to be reborn
Into the newness of unity that has been torn
Into duality, into: "It's us against them."
It's from that place of fear that all our conflicts stem

We're almost there, but not yet, still the stage is set
For the play we may enact according to our contract
That we made both you and I with everybody in our home up high
To awaken from our deep and long undisturbed though hardly peaceful sleep

If to look is to know the grace which you bestow
Upon those that you would raise
Into a kind and loving gaze
Then to look is to see everyone as good as they can be
