We are the ones ~Jennica Davis-Hockett. Unitarian Universalist youth have so many great traditional songs they sing at conferences (cons) and camps. I wrote this song to add to the repertoire. "There is no time not to love, but you gotta move slow" is an adaptation of a Deena Metzger poem: "There are those who are trying to set fire to the world/We are in danger /There is time only to work slowly/There is no time not to love." The year 2050 is a reference to the 4th great awakening we are in the midst of bringing on. Please share. Created in the Pacific Western Region of the Unitarian Universalist Association. 

We are we are the ones we've been waiting for.
There is no time not to love (2x)
But you gotta move slow slow yea you gotta move slow slow (2x)

We are we are the ones we've been waiting for.
2050 is the year we're marching towards.
But you gotta move slow slow yea you gotta move slow slow (2x)

We are we are the ones we've been waiting for.
Community is what we're yearning for.
There is no them no enemy.
There is no us no charity.
There is no them there's only we.
There's no us only solidarity.
But you gotta move slow slow yea you gotta move slow slow (2x)

We are we are the ones we've been waiting for.
We are we are the ones we've been waiting for.


We are the ones

I want to sync all my devices: / Bind me to the world
My head; my heart; my hands; / All that makes me whole
I want to sync all my devices: / Bind me to the world
My body, mind and soul; / All that makes me whole
I want to sync all my devices: / Bind me to the world
My thoughts and words and actions. / All that makes me whole
I want to sync all my devices: / Bind me to the world
All the things that make me whole. 

I want to sync all my networks / Bind me to the world
My family, my friends, my companions, / All that keeps me whole
I want to sync all my networks / Bind me to the world
My play, my service, my community, / All that makes me whole
I want to sync all my networks/ Bind me to the world
To bridge my self and faith to the world / All that makes me whole
I want to sync all my networks/ Bind me to the world
All the things that keep me whole.
