Chant for Change is needed now
More than ever it seems somehow
Paris and Cali like ringing alarms
We must pull Sita from Ravana’s arms
The voice of the soul lifted in song
With prayerful hearts and intention strong
The names of the Divine upon our lips
Can lift the tide and with it all ships
We need your voice and 5000 more
As we knock on history’s sacred door
From the steps where “the dream” was spoken out loud
Where Martin addressed the American crowd
Yet all ears listened that day, and now
We hear our own voice joining his vow
A simple act gives us each our role
Singing together to heal the soul
We are not young, we are not old
We are not the stories we have been told
Nor social classes, sexes, or economic station
Not from one religion, not from one nation
We are the soul, the conscious spark
That light dispels the fear of dark
And when 5000 souls come to sing their prayers
That sound touches heaven from Lincoln’s stairs
***
Together we shall Chant4Change.
