We gather around in circles
Holding hands in unity
Saying we believe in hope
And all the great things that should be

We desperately want change
and want the bad to be still
But we get incredibly upset
When people go against our will

We love telling the world
What things need to occur
It is easy to dictate what’s right
Even if we are not sure

We often shake our fists
When things don’t go right
We stomp our feet
And look for a fight

We huff and puff
And attempt to destroy
But then look in the mirror
And realize we have lost our joy

You see…if we were to be honest
And finally give up the lie
We would realize we could have chosen right
Every single time

When we pray for peace
And good to rule
Let’s not kid ourselves
Or act like a fool

We are the ones who
choose right and wrong
We make the decision
To even bring others along

So don’t pray for peace
If you are not willing to submit
Look at your own actions
And make sure your light is lit.
