Kirtana - A Peaceful World Lyrics
We may still have a little whileto grow our corn on this garden isleas it pirouettes through the Milky Way,but maybe not - who can say.Her cobalt oceans, once pristine,her virgin forests that burgeoned greenand her amber waves of grainhave been stained with rivers of red.This tiny gem is hanging by a thread.Meanwhile, we push and shoveto stake out our claim.We fight over lines in the dirtand kill in God's name.Some say the answer lies in waging warto end the violence, to right the score.Some say it lies with prayer -some with leaders or with laws.I say it's hopeless, if we don't treat the deeper cause.How can we ever legislatea state of peace, an end to hate?A peaceful world can only bewhen we all see beyond the boundaryof us and them, and me and youto one Self - and to that self be true.Who here would cut their own armor starve their own childor let any part of themselvesbe harmed or defiled?We may still have a little whileto fly our flags on this garden isleas it pirouettes through the Milky Way.But maybe not - who can say.
