lyrics

When love is divided factions in the mind
We delve out our portions trusting mostly our kind
In turn we’re left weakened, fractured and torn
Slightly sensing our own scorn

Our love has no limits, inexhaustible force
Revealing in shadows this obstacle course
Problems arising take root in our minds
Inexplicable design

Passing sadness, fading fear
Infiltrates our atmosphere
Causing blindness, causing harm
Yet there’s no cause for alarm

Sudden senseless suffering ceases
Attention turns our joy increases
We choose our frames so choose them wise
Many pathways will arise
Anticipate surprise
We’re alive

Focus distracted, connections come frayed
combative reactive media parade
The truth’s an impeccable source to be spread
Don’t let your instincts be misled

We care for our children, we care for our tribe
But where are the margins at which our cares subside?
Can we stretch our intentions to care for the whole
While relinquishing control?

Endlessly our visions shifting
Helplessly we follow suit
Loveencee our time has come to find
Presence of mind
