"The Gate"

lyrics by RWJ 

All my faith can wait
All my life spent outside the gate
All my faith can wait
All my life spent outside the gate

Everything is right through the gate
Just on the other side of the gate
Catch up with all my friends through the gate
Yeah everything I need through the gate

All my faith can wait
All my life spent outside the gate

NÃO AO MARCO TEMPORAL!

Celebrating the news that the majority of Brazil's Supreme Court judges voted NO on Marco Temporal! 

Hallelujah!

 ... But, there's still more work to do.  

Members of Brazil's congress have now declared they will work to change Brazil's constitution to justify the heinous principle of "Marco Temporal".

We hope you enjoy and are encouraged by the song.
  And we really hope you will

 ADD YOUR VOICE TO THE CALL
           FOR ALL INVOLVED TO VOTE   "NO TO MARCO TEMPORAL!" 

+ Download the song, play it back from another device, and film yourself singing along.  Post a video of yourself on social media with the # marcotemporalnão.

Here are the lyrics:

DIGA NÃO À VIOLAÇÃO
O QUE É DELA DEIXE-AO CHÃO
DO JEITO QUE ELA JÁ MERECEU
AO TRIBUNAL FEDERAL
NÃO AO MARCO TEMPORAL
NÃO AO MARCO TEMPORAL
NÃO AO MARCO TEMPORAL


For now there's been a "No" vote on this latest heinous attack on Indigenous Rights, and all humanity's planetary survival.
But factions within Brazil's government still are pushing to force "Marco Temporal" through. 

As a person who has deep gratitude and admiration for the land and people of Brazil, and who has benefited deeply from the inspiration and education of the music born from that land, I couldn't sit and watch this vote come-up without adding my voice to the chorus of communities tirelessly advocating to stop this (continued) violation of the land, and Indigenous people & territories of Brazil.

 One late night in Rio De Janeiro, a group of passionate musicians gathered in the studio to pool our talents and energies, and encourage all parties involved to say "NO" to Marco Temporal. 

We created this song with the hope its energy and message would contribute to the advocacy efforts pressuring the Brazilian courts and congress to reject Marco Temporal. 

 We acknowledge we are not on the deadly front lines of this battle. We stand in solidarity, and send prayers for protection and success to all those who are.
 
We hope and pray that this music -and your participation in it!- sends support, added visibility and energy to efforts of Indigenous communities throughout Brazil, and to the sacred and endangered being which is the Amazons herself.

Nao Ao Marco Temporal (Extended Version)

NÃO AO MARCO TEMPORAL (extended version...)

Running out of time
I’m running out of time
Even when I say I’m fine
I’m running out of time
Can anybody save a life
Anybody?

Ain’t it hard to see the vision when you’re stuck in a tunnel,
Funnel that energy back into the hustle,
Bustlin streets, glorious heap, rise above em all,
Take the fall, satanic beasts waiting to devour you whole,
Or are we climbing the staircase to glory, holy, hold me, before I can’t speak anymore

Can I escape from this plague of death and
Bones that construct my entire vessel

Hold me, just hold me, just hold me, just hold me,
Before I am holy, am holy, am holy,
Cease to be, cease to be, cease to be, cease to be,
Finally free, finally free, finally free, finally free,

Ain’t it a cruel reality that we are temporary beings,
That we are impermanent, imperfectly imperfect heathens,
Believe it when I say it’s better that we aren’t an alien,
Coming down to earth and FrEaKiNg out that all this energy is bailing out of their bodies, leave that mound of flesh rotting, engulfed in flames hotter than hell cause we’re all

Running out of time
I’m running out of time
Even when I say I’m fine
I’m running out of time

I’m running out of time
I’m running out of time
Even when I say I’m fine
I’m running out of time

I’m running out of time
I’m running out of time
Even when I say I’m fine
I’m running out of time

I’m running out of time
Can someone save a life
Can anybody
Can anybody
Can anybody save a life

You & I
