There’s moisture in the air One that speaks of spring The trees are responding And I hear the songs of birds As long as I hear the songs of birds Then I know Life is there still Miraculously Life is a reflection Everywhere there are glimpses of the self Shades of the great universe Channels carve their way in and out And dust is deposited The earth remains Eroded yet somehow replenished By the forces of nature Air becomes matter To replace death Materials gathered from the farthest reaches Of the universe Make life We are nothing but children of the universe Plants rise up from the earth Filling space Each and every one Offering nourishment to thousands upon thousands Birds fly wisely Rhythmically To show the way Humans stumble This way and that way Wishing to be kings and queens Cowering at fate Those who have given up on life Take their lives And take the lives of others 'Never give up!' said a wise man 'Never give up!' The future must glow! The future must resonate With hope for every young person! The bloodshed must stop! Though blood Escapes from the womb Of humanity Ceaselessly And the fine lines between Balance, renewal  and loss Widen Though blood flows too fast Hijacking days of rest and recovery Friendship and camaraderie We must never give up! We must all fight now But only For peace

Never give up
There’s moisture in the air One that speaks of spring The trees are responding And I hear the songs of birds As long as I hear the songs of birds Then I know Life is there still Miraculously Life is a reflection Everywhere there are glimpses of the self Shades of the great universe Channels carve their way in and out And dust is deposited The earth remains Eroded yet somehow replenished By the forces of nature Air becomes matter To replace death Materials gathered from the farthest reaches Of the universe Make life We are nothing but children of the universe Plants rise up from the earth Filling space Each and every one Offering nourishment to thousands upon thousands Birds fly wisely Rhythmically To show the way Humans stumble This way and that way Wishing to be kings and queens Cowering at fate Those who have given up on life Take their lives And take the lives of others 'Never give up!' said a wise man 'Never give up!' The future must glow! The future must resonate With hope for every young person! The bloodshed must stop! Though blood Escapes from the womb Of humanity Ceaselessly And the fine lines between Balance, renewal  and loss Widen Though blood flows too fast Hijacking days of rest and recovery Friendship and camaraderie We must never give up! We must all fight now But only For peace
