     Lyrics:
A PLANET DIVIDED against itself cannot stand
On December thirty-first
The world went silent
An angel drew a deep deep breath
And exhaled

On December thirty-first
Far among the galaxies
A people stood armed to the teeth

A PLANET DIVIDED against itself cannot stand
We all should know that by now.
A PLANET DIVIDED against itself cannot stand
We all should know that by now.

	We all should live in harmony
	We all should live in peace
	Every living thing should live
	Without fear of me

A PLANET DIVIDED against itself cannot stand
We all should know that by now.
A PLANET DIVIDED against itself cannot stand
We all should know that by now.

	There is only one human race
	There is only one earth
	[Repeat]

A PLANET DIVIDED against itself cannot stand
Everybody oughtta know that by now.

A planet
A beautiful planet
A planet
A green and watery planet
A planet of life
A planet of life
A planet
A fragile planet

A PLANET DIVIDED against itself cannot stand
We all should know that by now.

MESSAGES

A Planet Divided

A PLANET DIVIDED

Consciousness has the same standing in my mind as do Space and Time.  SpaceTimeConsciousness.
And Love is a healing force in the continuum.

     Lyrics
SOME DAY the sky will fall, SOME DAY
SOME DAY the mountains will burn
SOME DAY the seas will dry, SOME DAY
Or maybe SOME DAY we’ll learn that
	Love is not just a fairytale
	To keep children from despair
	But love is the touch that heals a heart
	If only we take time to care.

SOME DAY the car will crash, SOME DAY
SOME DAY some madman will kill
SOME DAY that bomb will flash, SOME DAY
Or maybe SOME DAY we will learn that
	Love is not just a fairytale
	To keep children from despair
	But love is the touch that heals the heart
	If only we take time to care.

SOME DAY the earth will die, SOME DAY
SOME DAY the sun will explode
Who knows where we may be that day
Or just how far science can go
	With love in control of the merry-go-round
	Rising and falling in time
	No, love is not just a fairytale
	The love that blends reason and rhyme
	The love that blends reason and rhyme

No, love is not just a fairytale
It’s as real as space and time.

SOME DAY (Love is not just a fairytale)

     Lyrics
We only see one side
Teeming millions we never hear from
Everyone has cried
And coped as best we can
WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE?

Everyone alive
Grew up in a different story
By the age of five
A pattern snapped in place
The painting has been framed 
WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE?

How are we different?
How much the same?
Anyone’s blood may save me one day
And there may be no way to say “Thank you”.

So get outside your tribe
Into skin of another color
Feel that human vibe
Watch from a camera in your brain
We’ve seen it all before.
WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE?

SOME DAY

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE?

         Lyrics:
ONCE UPON A TIME many years ago
A man in a hat stepped from the shadows
One o’clock chime, the beer joint loud and neon
A baseball bat streaked with someone’s blood

ONCE UPON A TIME long before you knew me
There was this guy, a real piece of work
He committed a crime behind the music blaring
Got scared and ran without a second look
          To this day that man is haunted
          And hungry for a love to heal his heart

Came a time—just watch the hourglass trickle
I guess he was just one of the lucky ones
To stumble upon such a serendipity
Injected with the serum of love
          Every one of us has a sad story
          The hell we’ve been through 
          And where we’re trying to go	
          And you know that
		We’re human, we are love
		All human, we are love
		We’re human, we are love
		We’re all human, and we are 

ONCE UPON A TIME on a far-off planet
Love is there in every breath
Reason and rhyme rule the hearts of every being
Enlightenment has torn the veil of death
          Currents of life moving through you
          Moving from the center of a sphere 
          (we’re all here, and )
		We’re human, we are love
		All human, we are love
		We’re human, we are love
		We’re all human, and we are love
		We’re human, we are love
		All human, we are love
		We’re human, we are love
		We’re all human, and we are 

Got a guitar now, it drips right through his fingers
He’s going far some lucky day
Used to the baggage now, it makes him stronger
Even though he cries along the way

          Good for him that he’s got you there
          Good for him and surely good for you, because
		We’re human, we are love
		All human, we are love
		We’re human, we are love
		We’re all human, and we are love
		We’re human, we are love
		All human, we are love
		We’re human, we are love
		We’re all human, and we are 
 
ONCE UPON A TIME in the distant present
It’s about time don’t you know
ONCE UPON A TIME in the distant present
It’s about time don’t you know

      Lyrics
EVERY BREATH

I don’t know if I can sing this song
With the right amount of feeling   
I just know this message can’t be wrong: 
We can open up the world to hope and healing 
	When we all just love more
	We just love more
	When we all love 
	Every day, each minute, EVERY BREATH

The world we live in crumbles all around me
People everywhere awake at night
I’m so lucky that somehow you found me
You help me see my darkness turn to light
	When I just love more
	When I love more
	If only I could love 
	Every day, each minute, EVERY BREATH
	EVERY BREATH: birth until death
	EVERY BREATH a choice just to be here
	Just to be here.   Just to be here.   Here.
Breathing as light as a feather
Floating regardless the weather
Sunshine or storm, the feather is carried along.

It’s always there inside if we can find it
Circumstances surely need a change
One person at a time, if we don’t mind it
Every heart that comes within our range, so let’s
	Go out and love more
	Go out and love
	Go out and love
	Every day, each minute, EVERY BREATH.
	Every day, each minute, EVERY BREATH.
	EVERY BREATH.
	EVERY BREATH.
