THE SOLUTION IS IN YOU THE SOUL

Freedom isn't free unless you get up and speak
Patriotism isn't a reason to create a wall
It is a reason we should be inclusive to all

Look deep within and become your best friend 

Then look outward and see your unlimited power

The solution is in you the soul

Demand a better way got to work not just pray

March in the streets march in the capital's halls

Let your voice be heard shake those walls

Look deep at the power within that has no end

Contained in a body of flesh and bone 

The power is in you the soul

Passion is the ignition to a movement inclusive to all

As we are one fist a power that can resist

There is so much in life that we miss drop the ego and understand this

Look deep at your self there is much more than you can know

Nothing that anyone can hold nothing that can be sold

The passion is you the soul

HONEY DRIPS

Need something sweet, something to eat

Dreaming of the taste is just a waste

Inaction is a craving that sometimes goes away

Honey drips from your lips.

Passion in the words you use nothing to prove

Nourishment isn't just in the food; it is what is inside of you.

Need something sweet, something like peace

Dreaming of togetherness and what we can achieve 

Fear is just a distraction from the truth

Honey drips from his lips.

With passion in his voice, there is no other choice

Words of compassion, words with feeling, understanding the meaning

Need something sweet, something to hear

Dreaming of Marvin's words *"For only love can conquer hate."

We must march the path that they paved.

Honey drips from her lips.

Her breath through the flute knowledge is the tune

Million tears left at the fence mixed with the mace of ignorance

Need something sweet like freedom

Four hundred years of forgetting is coming to an end

Our ancestors might not have been friends, but together we can win
