We must be careful, mindful – v2

We must be careful, mindful,
Before we open our mouths,
Before we click on our keyboards,
Before we press send…
 
Every word that we speak has power,
We must choose each of them wisely,
We must think about what we say,
Before we press send…
 
We can love, we can hate,
We can heal, we can destroy,
We must be careful, mindful,
Before we press send…

We send ripples of energy through the universe – v2

Our voices have power, meaning, importance,
we are more than our position, our station,
each of us hold great power, we can create,
We send ripples of energy through the universe,
We can manifest a brighter future, a more just world…
 
We have immense power, our voices matter,
no matter what others may say to defeat us,
We can lift up one another, sharing,
our lives, our calling, our purpose,
offering love to one another, along the way…
 
We can manifest a brighter future, a more just world,
we send ripples of energy through the universe,
We are more than our position, our station,
our voices have power, meaning, importance,
We can rise above our past, into a brighter future…
 
We have the power to change the world…

We have power, our voices are important - v2

We have power, our voices are important,
We must speak our truth, our hope, life,
Even in darkness, when we cannot see light,
When we feel small, inconsequential,
When we feel broken, damaged, insignificant,
We can send ripples through the universe,
Energy, a Butterfly Effect through time…
 
We have power, our voices are important,
No matter our position, our station,
We must not consider ourselves unworthy,
We can rise up like the rest, together,
A mighty army of truth, of love, of light,
Setting the world back together, confident,
Energy, a Butterfly Effect through time…

a sense of place – v4

We share a sense of place,

of connection to this land,

to these people, brothers,

sisters, neighbors,

those here by birth, by choice

this incredible beauty,

We share a love of community

investing, gathering together

sharing deeply, hopes,

creating one vision

for our region, this place,

this place that we love,

We share this moment

of hope, of inspiration

charting a course together

for a future, for our lives

for our families, our neighbors,

within this special region,

We share a hope for tomorrow

for a rising future, a path forward

a raising of all boats with the rising tide

building upon the blueprint, the plan

these images, these words

written on these pages.

a sense of place – v2

We share a sense of place,

of connection to this land,

to these people, brothers,

sisters, neighbors,

those here by birth, by choice

this incredible beauty

We share a love of community

Investing, gathering together

sharing deeply, hopes,

creating one vision

for our region, this place

this place that we love

to let it all hang out

will I stay stuck

wallowing in regrets;
