Emerge



We walked out from the freezing ocean

The brilliant sun blinding our newborn eyes

We couldn't see save for our mind's eye

The vision of hope is instinct

Fear moved our cold feet

We ran through the sands of time

Leaving the trail of dust and dreams behind us

Where we have been is not where we are going

It's a new ever-shifting picture of unity

Our ears are filled with the voices

Of our ancestors urging us

On toward the uncertainty

Of our true destiny

The sting of sweat burns our open eyes

And the sweet scent of fresh rain fills our nostrils

Still tasting the tart of the ocean in our teeth

The music of trust beats in our mighty hearts

The blood of truth rushes through our veins

Refreshing each and every cell 

In the body of mankind

The bonds of hate lie upon the ground

Rusting, held there by the gravity of its sins

Our souls sour through the atmosphere

Of understanding, avoiding the bluffs of disbelief

Step forward into the light

Raise thy head and heart into the reality of humanity

Smile it will be alright

Remember what we knew before we thought

Focus attention envision insight

Immerse self in the river of love

His promise is His might
